(Nov 2020) Competing in the Digital Economy: The Power Duo of AI & Big Data

By

Digital Leadership Training Series:
 The Power Duo of AI & Big Data

 

數字領導力培訓系列：
「數字經濟的雙引擎：人工智能與大數據」課程

WHAT IS THE POWER DUO OF AI & BIG DATA?  

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is only possible with big data, because we need a tremendous amount of data to “teach” or “train” AI systems. As its name suggests, AI has a form of intelligence of its own. It figures out which rules to follow based on the data that we feed them.

An AI application doesn’t just do what it’s been programmed to do. AI can go further than that. It responds to changing information and makes adjustment based on what it learns as it goes along. AI differs from supercomputers and other systems with powerful computing capabilities in one important way. AI systems are capable of not just computing, but actual learning — machine learning. The more data you give these machine learning networks and the more computational capability you give them, the better the result becomes because the results of previous machine-learning exercises can be fed back into the algorithms.

(Macau) Sharing AI for Financial Services with Macau’s Businesses & Academia

By

Macao has been cultivating the Specialised Finance for the last few years. With the new government administration on board, a few exciting Financial Services initiatives are being explored and will soon be launched. AI is inevitably one of the key FinTech areas that Macao needs to support the Macao CE’s vision to transform Macao into a Digital Macao.

I am going to deliver a webinar on AI for Financial Services for the Faculty of Finance, the City University of Macau on May 14, 2020. Financial institutions and Financial Technologies (FinTech) startups are using AI and Machine Learning methods to assess credit quality, to price and market insurance contracts, and to automate client interaction. Some of these companies are optimising scarce capital with AI and machine learning techniques, as well as back-testing models and analysing the market impact of trading large positions. Financial services companies are using these technologies for regulatory compliance, surveillance, data quality assessment, and fraud detection. I will explore more on the webinar.

Here are more information for the webinar: https://lnkd.in/g6YArVm

(Hong Kong) Retailers, Industrialists, Bankers & Entrepreneurs Joining Hands to Bounce Back from the Covid-19

By

Industrialists, Bankers, Retailers & Entrepreneurs joined hands to share how to deal with and bounce back from the Coronavirus / Covid19. I joined 2 online forums as panel speakers today with the same theme i.e. how to bound back from the downturn due to the Pandemic. The 1st one focused on retailers while the 2nd one was on industrialists, startups & entrepreneurs.

I had a fruitful discussion with Chow Tai Fook’s Kent Wong & Quentin Wong and HKMA’s Dr. Victor Lee on the impact of AI, Platform, Gamification and more on the retail industry.  I also learned a lot from YaTa’s Susanna Wong, Fortress’ Clarice Au, and HKRMA’s Mary Suen.  Susanna made a great point. She said, “2 things that we must invest”.  1st is engagement with colleagues & 2nd is technology.  These investments were well justified & paid off as it helped them overcome this challenging period. The 3 leaders also shared about the unprecedented challenges on Logistics, Agility, Staff Skills, Customer Expectation & how to deal with them.  Excellent sharing.

I also had an insightful exchange with FHKI’s Dr. Daniel Yip, Startup Council’s Jason Chiu & Bryant Chan, and HSBC’s Daniel Chan on opportunities & challenges for startups & opportunities in HK, GBA, SEA & Reindustrialization. Stay tuned for the upcoming DemoFest.

(Hong Kong) The Most Wanted Accountants in the Digital Economy

By

AI will bring human & machine to work closely together. Rather than just Automation, Augmentation is the real thing that we need to adapt to in this decade. Digital Colleague will be working with us perhaps managing and supervising us. In the professional world, that is no exception and excuse. Accounting and Finance industry is facing the same challenge. Digital Accountant is emerging & becomes a must for all in the industry.

We have delivered a CPD webinar today to ACCA members on the topic “The Most Wanted Accountant in the Digital Economy”. Hundreds of accounting & finance (F&A) professionals participated.  We have lots of respect to the learning attitude of our fellow ACCA’s members during the challenging period of the Coronavirus. We started the forum with 3 critical questions that every F&A professional needs to have serious thoughts in the Digital Economy.

  1. Will AI replace F&A professionals? How bad? How soon?
  2. Are there any new roles for F&A professionals? If yes, what are they?
  3. What & how should F&A professionals reskill themselves so they can continue to be relevant & capable of taking up the new roles in the Digital Economy?

Daniel Yuen shared his view on Citizen Data Scientist & why F&A professionals need to strengthen their Data Literacy.  Patrick Tsoi then demonstrated how Open Sources based big data tools can make a huge difference to visualize & manage Big Data from the traditional Excel and BI tools. Thanks to both.

Appreciate ACCA HK to lead the Digital Transformation for and bring in innovation to the Accounting & Finance industry in Hong Kong. I have been collaborating with the team since 20+ years ago. Two of the photos below were taken in the panels of two ACCA annual conferences 15 years in between. Amazing that both HSU President Simon Ho and I were in both panels. What a great memory. I hope I could continue to support it in the next 15 to 20 years. Thank you so much to ACCA.

Appreciate ACCA, Kornerstone Catherine Chan & OpenCertHub Andy Kwok to co-organize this webinar. Kornerstone provides Citizen Data Scientist training courses while OpenCertHub provides examinations to certify big data, AI & open-source talents.

(Hong Kong) It’s an Urgency to Reskill Everyone with Data Literacy in the Digital Economy

By

Many of the offline classes & forums have been canceled or postponed due to the Cornavirus outbreak. Fortunately, technology can keep learning as usual. A group of big data experts has made use of technology to share their experience online on the topic of BigDataLiteracy in the DigitalEconomy.

HKPC together with OpenCertHub organized an online forum on the topic “The Most Wanted Data Technology Talent”. In this decade, AI & Big Data skill will be a necessity for everyone, not just IT & data scientists. We need IQ, EQ & now DQ in order to compete and survive. DQ stands for DataQuotient or DataLiteracy. Every business leader and executive needs to boost their DQ in order to be able to create data-driven business models and monetize their data. It is a common language like English that we use it for our business worldwide. Please refer to my previous article for more. https://lnkd.in/fwqbUff

Reskilling everyone of us to be a CitizenDataScientist has become an urgency in this decade no matter what industry & what position we are in now. Hundreds of audiences from a diverse background has joined the online forum. Glad that they have started aware of this urgency.

Thanks Patrick Tsoi , Daniel Yuen, Andy Kwok, HKPC Edmond Lai, Karen Fung, Desmond Chan, & the audiences joined the forum.
