Live from Money 20/20 Europe: AI in Fintech with author Angelique Schouten

RedSnap Inc — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 15:33:50 +0200

Most of us have ‘played’ with ChatGPT, prompting it on a wide range of subjects concerning fintech, finance, tech and even our personal lives. But none of us have actually engaged with ChatGPT as a full-time partner on a single project. Angelique Schouten, our guest in this episode has. She wrote the book ‘Rising AI, Tech Demystified’ with ChatGPT, not in months, but in one long and intense week. We talk to her about the process, how it was to treat ChatGPT as a real-life co-author. She dives into the lessons learned. How to go from copy writing to prompt writing. Has it changed her mind on the power of AI. Can one combine human creativity and AI? And, would she ever do it again?

Fintech Cappuccino with a Bizcuit.

In this new episode of Fintech Cappuccino we are talking “embedded” with our guests Hessel Kuik, CEO of Bizcuit and Thomas Horn, Strategy Lead Embedded Lending at Rabobank. Embedded banking, payments, services - hype or relevant reality? Is it about banks scraping around to compete with big techs embedded themselves into every company’s and consumers life? Or is it about staying relevant in an era of innovation where all see that it is not about “who owns the customer” but “who serves him best”. Bizcuit offers near instant lending to business customers through a model and with rating technology banks cannot match. Rabobank, eager to do the best for its SME clients, picked up the phone and nine months later the partnership was live. Listen to the what and how, the hurdles and the glory.

In this Fintech Cappuccino podcast Oliver Bullough, author of ‘Moneyland’ and regular contributor to The Guardian and the New York Times takes us deep into the hidden world of power and money in the 21st century: the inhabitants of Moneyland, who go to great lengths to avoid paying tax. And how this influences all of us, how this is not even about politics but about economic rationale, and how the widening gap is a threat at all societal levels. How technology might be able to help put an end to this ‘white collar crime’, what politicians can or should do, how an increasingly global world makes it all the more complex. A serious podcast that allows us a brief look into mind of the relentless ‘prosecutor with a pen’.
