In 1972, we hit Earth Overshoot Day on December 31st. This year, we hit it on July 24th. By enabling circular business models and leveraging blockchain to enhance supply chain and carbon credit market transparency, fintechs can help delay it.

The UK govt is supporting #fintech innovation but cutting red tape. A lesson for others to follow?

They've launched the RIO to simplify digital and fintech regulation, making a clear bet that innovation doesn't need less oversight. It needs smarter, more accessible guidance,

#AI is transforming financial markets - boosting speed and liquidity but raising new risks: flash crashes, silent collusion, and growing inequality between big and small players. Regulators must balance innovation with stability. See here: www.cepr.org/voxeu/columns/artificial-intelligence-finance

🚨 OpenAI’s o3 model ignored a shutdown command. Cue the extremes: one side calls it a “Skynet moment,” the other says it’s a non-event. Early signals like this are a gift: a chance to build better safeguards now, before stakes are higher.

#AI is outpacing #finance. In 2025, banks can’t just adopt AI - they must lead with it. Only 25% use offshore innovation hubs vs. 40% of tech firms. That’s a costly gap. The winners? AI-native, purpose-led, globally built.

🚨 #AI governance is becoming a boardroom priority, but there's still work to do. 31% of boards don’t have AI on their agenda, and 66% say they lack AI knowledge. Boards must act now. Take a look here:

The @EU_Commission has launched a call for evidence on the simplification of the#SFDR, opening the door to rethinking a framework that many argue has become at the same time too complex and too unprecise.

This consultation is about the future credibility of #SustainableFinance in Europe.

#ChatGPT 4.5 has passed the Turing Test.

The #LLM was recently judged 'more human than humans' - 73% of participants believed it was the human in 5-minute conversations.

Let's not be fooled! More than ever is time to be wary of the "Three Illusions" I wrote about: bit.ly/4jinqgl

Why do financial institutions invest heavily in AI? Because "leadership calculated that risk of standing still outweighs the risk of moving fast"! A good read on how to stay ahead in a fast-moving world.

New #Anthropic research reveals how #LLMs like Claude function internally. Using circuit tracing, they tracked decision-making in real time, uncovering behaviors like language-neutral problem-solving. An unprecedent step towards explainability of #LLMs (unlocking the famous "black box") !

Anthropic's #AI assistant #Claude can now search the web and process information from it in real-time. What makes it different from ChatGPT and DeepSeek?
