About the Summit
The AI 2030 Summit Hong Kong brings together policymakers, financial institutions, technology leaders, investors and founders on the eve of the Asian Financial Forum. Across five program blocks, the summit examines how AI is transforming financial services, how trust can be built in at scale, how AI is moving from digital to physical, how nations can govern AI across borders, and how capital can scale the next generation of responsible AI startups.
Hosted the day before AFF opens, the summit puts responsible AI on the global financial system's agenda before the week begins. Attendees and speakers can stay on in Hong Kong to take part in the forum.

Regulators and policymakers; bank, insurance and asset management executives; technology and AI leaders; investors and founders; academic and research leaders.
