Watch the recording of this webinar, recorded on February 18, 2022, on our YouTube Channel.
In our previous faiVLive webinar with Jesse McWaters, Head of Global Digital Public Policy at Mastercard, we demystified digital money systems and discussed what blockchains are, the differences between mobile money, digital currency and cryptocurrency, and the possibilities that digitization opens.
But an hour was just not enough. Back for a second run, Tim and Jesse continued their conversation, and grappled with questions focused on applications of digital currency to advance financial inclusion, cybersecurity, and the interplay between regulation, consumer protection and innovation.
Featuring:
Jesse McWaters, Global Heal of Regulatory Advocacy, Mastercard
Timothy Ogden, Managing Director, Financial Access Initiative at NYU Wagner
For a refresher on what we discussed last time read our Q&A blog posts on Digital Money Explained, Part A and Part B.
This faiVLive was presented in collaboration with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth.
Editor’s Note: I’m going to assume that you are seeing plenty of AI content (news and papers, not AI slop, though I’m sure you’re getting plenty of that too) from other sources, so I’m trying to think hard about the marginal value that the faiV can provide. As far as I’ve gotten so far: a) make sure that directly AI-related content does not take up more than 2 of the 5 items, and b) try to focus specifically on the cybersecurity issue for financial inclusion. Beyond that, I’m open to feedback on the value you get from the faiV in relation to AI to help guide us in the future. On a different note, I’ll be making a brief cameo appearance at the e-MFP Inclusive Finance Conference to moderate the opening plenary. If you haven’t registered, do so and I hope to see you there! - Tim Ogden
