Introduction

---

Financial technologies (FinTech) are undergoing rapid transformation driven by advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, large language models, multi-agent systems, and data-driven decision intelligence. AI is increasingly embedded into banking, insurance, investment management, digital payments, regulatory compliance, fraud detection, financial customer services, and financial risk management. Recent developments in generative AI and agentic systems further expand the capabilities of intelligent financial services while introducing new challenges related to trustworthiness, explainability, robustness, fairness, privacy, and governance.

The goal of this track on AI for Intelligent Financial Technologies (AIFT) is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present advances in AI-enabled financial technologies and intelligent financial services. The track emphasizes intelligent, trustworthy, and human-centered AI solutions for financial technologies and services, including financial analytics, decision support, compliance, fraud detection, customer intelligence, and AI-enabled financial systems.
