Money, Markets, and Machine Intelligence

Financial infrastructure is being reshaped by two powerful and converging forces: digital money and machine intelligence. This MIT Industrial Liaison Program symposium brings together leading MIT faculty to examine how these forces are transforming payments, market structure, and financial decision-making.

From next-generation payment systems and evolving market infrastructure to AI-driven decision-making and the emergence of autonomous, agent-based systems, the program offers a forward-looking view of how finance is being rebuilt, and what it means for industry leaders.

The Latin America Urban Technology Initiative proposes the creation of a research center at MIT, focused on doing cutting edge research in regards to the convergence of digital technologies and the future transformation of cities in the Latin American region. The proposed initiative will be launched by the Senseable City Lab, leveraging the research portfolio performed by the lab as well as the multidisciplinary expertise of the research team for the transference and creation of novel scientific knowledge and technologies aimed at improving urban conditions and the quality of life of cities in the region. Challenges such as environmental pollution, traffic, health services and informal settlements are key to the development of the second most urbanized region in the world, and can be improved through the use of data science methods and the use of digital technologies. Our workshop, in collaboration with MIT-ILP will focus on presenting the opportunities that this initiative can bring to companies from the region, through a series of lectures showcasing the type of research projects that the initiative can fuel, and an open discussion with participants, aimed at identifying potential opportunities for impact and collaboration.
