Title: Exploration and application of blending AI with financial sector

Abstract: Artificial intelligence is well along the development path of commercialization and large-scale expansion in China as it becomes a new driving force transforming traditional industries and improving efficiencies in many sectors. New advances and breakthroughs in algorithms, computing power and big data will fuel continued AI progress.

After AI was mentioned in government work reports for three consecutive years, the government work report delivered during the NPC and CPPCC sessions this year proposed the concept of “Intelligent+” for the first time. Finance, one of the best fields in which to apply AI, has already most extensively used the technology. As a Fintech company, Xiaoman Financial is dedicated to the integration of AI and finance, expanding financial services with AI, and exploring “Intelligent+” initiatives in the financial industry.

In the future, AI will usher in a new technology revolution to reshape human society. We are looking forward to more and new changes.
