Later, Dr Arvin Tang, the Director of Multimedia Systems and Analytics under the technical division of the Trust and AI Technologies division at Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI), shared the latest regulatory technology in FinTech with our students. Dr Tang discussed the regulatory challenges of data protection in FinTech and introduced ASTRI solution to it, namely, a self-developed federated learning platform developed by ASTRI. This federated learning platform motivates the machine learning training and alternative data to facilitate the regulatory improvement, which is also applied in establishing a new ecosystem for the bank industries. Dr Tang also illustrated some empirical evidence to enhance our students’ cybersecurity literacy.
