Thai banks navigate regulatory costs of digital transformation and technology modernisation Read the full article : https://bit.ly/3LEkyLB Financial technology experts and practitioners gathered to discuss the theme "Bridging the digital divide between innovations and challenges in Thai banking". The roundtable dialogue aimed to explore and devise strategies to overcome hurdles in digital transformation, particularly focusing on integrating cutting-edge technologies with legacy systems and addressing data security and privacy concerns. Participants acknowledged the urgent need for Thai banks to enhance customer experiences to remain competitive amid rapidly evolving consumer behaviours and expectations. They emphasised that digital transformation requires not just the implementation of new technologies but also a fundamental shift in organisational culture and business model to meet the evolving needs of customers. Additionally, there was a strong focus on the need for technology modernisation, including the migration to cloud-based systems, to increase scalability, agility, and efficiency. The regulatory environment, facilitated by the Bank of Thailand (BoT), has been supportive of the emergence of virtual banks. However, participants highlighted significant challenges banks face in accelerating digital transformation and technology modernisation. They noted that while regulatory support is commendable, integrating new technologies with existing systems without disrupting services remains a substantial challenge. Moreover, the high costs associated with regulatory compliance, particularly around data security and privacy regulations, pose a significant obstacle.

Yaser Abu-Mostafa: AI can unlock DNA secrets Read more: https://bit.ly/4cUZEEi Caltech professor Yaser Abu-Mostafa shared his vision of artificial intelligence unlocking the secrets of DNA and transforming healthcare with Emmanuel Daniel, founder of The Asian Banker. Abu-Mostafa speculated that future advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) could uncover the secrets of DNA and transform healthcare, saying: “I wouldn’t be surprised if all the mysteries about DNA and how it relates are solved.” Key discussion points: ● AI needs further development to reach its full potential and address ethical issues. ● AI shows promise in medicine by creating algorithms that significantly improve lives. ● Gap between AI and scientific understanding, leading to misconceptions about its true nature. ● AI remains a simulation, not intelligence ● The book Learning from Data has significantly contributed to AI since 2012 #artificialintelligence #ai #dna #healthcare #futureofmedicine #genetics #datascience #machinelearning #technology #innovation #caltech #biotechnology #scientificresearch #ethicalai #learningfromdata #thaasianbanker #tabglobal

Tanoto Foundation Medical Philanthropy bridges funding gaps in medical research Read more: https://bit.ly/4ePSd2l The Tanoto Foundation Medical Philanthropy Forum, held in Singapore on 4 July 2024, marked a significant milestone in the foundation's efforts to advance medical research. The event brought together leading medical experts, philanthropists, and policymakers to discuss the critical role of philanthropic capital in bridging funding gaps and accelerating innovations in healthcare. The forum recognised the first three recipients of the Tanoto Foundation Medical Research Fund (MRF), each receiving substantial grants to further research in key healthcare areas. The Tanoto Foundation, founded in 1981 by Sukanto Tanoto and Tinah Bingei Tanoto, is a philanthropic organisation based on the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to realise their full potential. The foundation’s philosophy centres around harnessing the transformative power of education and research to create equal opportunities and improve lives. To date, the Tanoto Foundation has made significant impacts through various projects of passion, including improving learning environments, developing future leaders, and advancing medical research and sciences. Benny Lee, CEO of the Tanoto Foundation, emphasised the foundation's longstanding commitment to medical philanthropy, noting that despite over 15 years of support in this field, the establishment of the MRF marks a new chapter. The fund, launched in September 2023, aims to bridge the gap between small-scale initiatives and large-scale projects, focusing on impactful discoveries and fostering sustainable giving in medical research. Lee highlighted that the foundation’s SGD 5 million annual funding is intended to catalyse additional funding opportunities and nurture local research talent, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes in Singapore and beyond. Its executive advisor, Bey Soo Khiang, highlighted the foundation’s strategy in targeting underfunded areas that can have a substantial impact on population health. He remarked on the significance of prioritising research in areas like maternal and child health and cardiology, which are often overlooked despite their critical importance. Bey stated, “There is a large segment of the population that these research areas impact, and by prioritising them, we address significant unmet healthcare needs”.
