UCILeR researcher integrates a COST Action

Susana Aires de Sousa, integrated researcher at the UCILeR, joined the team of COST Action CA19130 - Fintech and Artificial Intelligence in Finance - Towards a transparent financial industry (FinAI). The UCILeR will host an event of the project in June this year.

The financial sector is the largest user of digital technologies and a major driver in the digital transformation of the economy. Financial technology (FinTech) aims to both compete with and support the established financial industry in the delivery of financial services. The Action will investigate Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Fintech from three different angles: Transparency in FinTech, Transparent versus Black Box Decision-Support Models in the Financial Industry and Transparency into Investment Product Performance for Clients. The Action will bridge the gap between academia, industry, the public and governmental organisations by working in an interdisciplinary way across Europe and focusing on innovation.
