AI and the Global Financial System in 2026

Event Overview

The global financial system can sound complicated, but this webinar is designed to make it simple. In 2026, artificial intelligence, or AI, is playing a bigger role in how money moves, how banks serve customers, how fraud is detected, and how companies make financial decisions. In this live online session, Edu AI will explain these changes in clear, everyday language so absolute beginners can understand what is happening and why it matters.

You do not need any background in AI, coding, finance, or data science to join. We will start from the basics, including what AI means, how it learns from patterns, and why financial organisations are using it more than ever. We will then explore real-world examples such as smarter customer support in banks, faster payment checks, better fraud alerts, improved risk assessment, and the growing use of AI in investment tools and global markets.

This session will help you understand how AI is transforming the financial world in practical terms. Instead of using technical words, we will focus on simple explanations and relatable examples. We will also look at the benefits of AI, such as speed and convenience, as well as important concerns like fairness, privacy, safety, and the need for human oversight.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will have a clear beginner-level understanding of how AI is being used across the global financial system in 2026. You will learn what AI is, where it appears in everyday financial services, how it helps banks and businesses, what risks people are discussing, and what these changes could mean for jobs, customers, and the future of money. We assume zero prior knowledge, so every idea will be introduced step by step.
