Alibaba’s payment arm Ant Financial wants to have 2 billion customers in 10 years according to the chief executive of the $60 billion firm. Ant Financial runs the Alipay mobile wallet in China which has over 450 million users.

In an interview with CNBC, Eric Jing, the CEO of Ant Financial, added that the Chinese giant is exploring further uses of Blockchain technology to make that possible. 

“WE HAVE AN AMBITION TO BE A GLOBAL COMPANY,” JING TOLD CNBC AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM IN DAVOS.

“SO MY VISION (IS) THAT WE WANT TO SERVE 2 BILLION PEOPLE IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS BY USING TECHNOLOGY, BY WORKING TOGETHER WITH PARTNERS … TO SERVE THOSE UNDERSERVED.”

Jing noted the potential of artificial intelligence and Blockchain.

 

When asked by CNBC if Ant Financial is looking into blockchain technologies to underpin Alipay, Jing said “definitely”.

“ALL THESE TECHNOLOGIES WILL BE USED … TO BRING MORE, A HIGH LEVEL OF SECURITY,” JING EXPLAINED, ADDING THAT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND BLOCKCHAIN WILL BE “DEEPLY” INTEGRATED INTO ANT FINANCIAL’S OPERATIONS.

Ant Financial has already introduced Blockchain technology into a charitable donation service that it owns, with the aim of allowing users to track the money they send in a more charitable way.

To push growth the company raised a whopping $4.5 billion in a series B funding round last year which will help drive deals such as its acquisition of a 40% stake in India’s Paytm.

Teaching a Machine How to Imagine

wef transcripts from openT
Harnessing Artificial Intelligence to Target Conservation Efforts

The smartphone is the ultimate example of a universal computer. Apps transform the phone into different devices. Unfortunately, the computational revolution has done little for the sustainability of our Earth. Yet, sustainability problems are unique in scale and complexity, often involving significant computational challenges.

Teaching a Machine How to Imagine

We can train computers to learn to recognize objects by giving them millions of examples with the correct answers. A human baby, on the other hand, learns to recognize many concepts and objects all by themself simply by interacting with a few examples in the real world.

Using Cryptography to Redefine Legal Contracts and Public Records

Can we have agreements or the mechanisms for enforcing agreements between governments without having to appeal to the ambiguity of international law?

Language as a Signature of the Flexible Human Mind

To understand human nature, I focus on human language and what it can reveal about how we think. Unlike other animals, humans can communicate an infinite number of thoughts through language. And one reason that language is powerful is because we can use each of our words flexibly, with several different meanings.

Applying Algorithms to Minimize Risk

The United States plants more than 170 million acres of corn and soybeans a year, more than any country in the world. And the primary mechanism in the US that we use to subsidize agriculture is actually called the Federal Crop Insurance Program. So, the crop insurance program in the US is also the largest such program globally, with over $100 billion in liabilities annually. So it’s a very big program.

Mapping the Intricacies of Evolving Food Systems

In many countries, the very ability to eat a food like avocado is a direct benefit of international trade. We are eating on an interconnected planet. Food trade now shapes land use worldwide and is reshaping the food supplies of many nations.

Building Resilient Cities Through Restoration of Fragmented Urban Ecosystems

Cities form a vast global network connected by flows of energy, food, information. This global network is the challenge of the 21st century. How do we make more sustainable cities, with smaller ecological footprints and more equitable human wellbeing?

Decoding Workforce Productivity: Brian Ballard

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is ushering in a significant increase in connected machines, connected products. And at the same time, the people who are standing next to these highly sophisticated machines are ultimately connected in their home lives. They carry a cell phone that’s managing their smart car, their smart home, their smart systems. But they have almost no interaction with the systems at work.

Decoding Workforce Productivity: Benjamin Waber

I could ask you questions about where your customers buy products, or what sort of products they buy. And you could give me very detailed answers. But I could ask relatively similar questions about what goes on within your company that you can’t answer.

Decoding Workforce Productivity: Nita A. Farahany

Are there any limits to the connected workplace? Are there any concerns about the connected workplace? Is there any way in which you wouldn’t want either yourself or an employee to be connected? Are there any limits to the kinds of information we can gather in order to make our workforces more productive? In order to make our overall society more productive?

wise beijing 5 nov

so wise big summit in qatar is henceforth only once every 2 years next nov 2017

but it has minisummits - including one in beijing 5 november 2016  http://economistdiary.com 

queries circulating http://gycommunity.com include

who is on organising team of beijing -  is there a way we can develop sepcial briefing for abed family

on what new best opportunities are

when is the first time in GYchina diary that it would be convenient for some of us to come over to beijong:

coffee clubs witjh sme students you pick becauyse gtey have particularinterests

interviewing people of beijing wise if possible - maybe mostoifa could get brac to list some questions they would like to know

in next mail i am sending transcripts of dc's bigest annual education summit- my point is while they praise brac as one of top 10 educatirs they are so out of date on what they know

Translation Errors mine alone chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk dc text 240 316 8157

given that sir fazle was wise's first laureate - is it reasonable to assume that wise beijiong would like to make sure it knows what its first laureate is most interested in learning?  i understand that my english language is sometimes too direct but pleasse tell me if you do not know how to translate why i am asking this questions as urgently helping GYcommunity if we are able to mediate them

from wise newsletter 19 may 2016

WISE undertakes on a year-round basis; successful programs such as the WISE Awards, the WISE Prize for Education, and the Learners’ Voice all carry unique imprint. I know that you all join me in thanking Dr Abdulla for his outstanding contributions to WISE and wishing him continued success as he takes on new leadership challenges in Qatar.

Following the recent appointment of Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al-Thani as CEO of Qatar Foundation, I am pleased to let you know that WISE is now working directly with the Office of Her Excellency. WISE will support Sheikha Hind and her team in ensuring that Qatar Foundation continues to play a significant role in building the future of education in Qatar and around the world.

In this regard and after consultations with local and international stakeholders, WISE has decided to shift to a biennial cycle of summits to allow more time and resources to be devoted to pursuing our global and local research and outreach agenda. As part of this effort, WISE has launched a series of local and regional gatherings that will take place between global summits and to which we have given the tentative name of WISE@. I am very excited to let you know that the first two WISE@ events will take place in Tunis on 26 May 2016, and in Beijing on 5 November 2016. A third gathering will likely follow in Europe in early 2017.

The Summit

Although young people are the main consumers and participants in education, they rarely have the opportunity to shape a system that is built on their behalf. The Youth Summit 2016 will seek to bridge that gap by giving young people an active voice in shaping the future of education.
