Deploying Generative AI to Democratize Finance
Join us for a forward-looking Deep Dive with Clarisse Awamengwi, IE correspondent and fintech innovator, discussing her illuminating article “Leveraging Generative AI to Accelerate Financial Inclusion.” In this timely piece, Clarisse explores how generative AI can do more than boost operational efficiency—it can become a powerful catalyst for equitable access to financial services. From delivering financial literacy in local languages and crafting tailored investment guidance for underserved groups, to enhancing accessibility for people with disabilities, she highlights how a wide range of actors—from entrepreneurs and investors to fintechs and traditional financial institutions—can harness GenAI to drive inclusion rather than merely reduce costs.
