We examine these  from a developer’s perspective to provide a practical, hands-on guide. All of the major cloud vendors are engaged in a race to provide relevant AI services, such as  
○ Image recognition  
○ Speech-to-text, text-to-speech  
○ Chatbots Language translation  
○ Natural language processing  
○ Recommendations  

We review the current state of the art, and we categorize the available services on Google into a standard architectural  structure. Following we dive right in and build a serverless image recognition system as our first AI as a Service platform.

• Increasing A2A Payments and open banking support – open finanance API network, Account Entry Push Notifications, Reservation of funds, Deferred and recurring payments, Request to Pay, Initiation of a consumer loan = BNPL, SEPA Direct DebitImproving conversion and UX
• Value Added Services around payments e.g. - BNPL will further grow, Credit card-based BNPL as fight back for banks, Digital Receipts will get more momentum, Next Generation Loyalty Offers - the age of data blindness & simple transaction-rewarding is over
• Improving the PSD2 SCA with better use of newer 3DS protocols (EMVCo 3DS 2.3) - eCOM Tokenization, Click To Pay, Delegated Authentication, split SDK and device binding

Coinfirm AML Oracle was the first smart contract-based solution for AML compliance of the burgeoning decentralized finance (DeFi) scene. The Oracle unlocks a key barrier that DeFi presented to previously developed blockchain compliance technology on the market.

Because DeFi protocols run on-chain smart contracts – meaning that any compliance layer needs the same format of technology required to interact with a DeFi provider such as a decentralised exchange (DEX) through client smart contracts – a specifically tailored solution is necessary.

Currently operated with Ethereum and RSK protocol, the Coinfirm AML Oracle is that solution – enabling decentralized entities to continue their lending, staking and general DeFi activities without fear of falling afoul of nefarious actors in their system – with an added emphasis on security and cost-effective gas usage.

The Financial Action Task Force's updated draft guidance from 09.03.2021 massively expands the types of entities falling under the FATF’s purview. The updated guidance requests member states to ensure DeFi platforms are covered by AML laws, even if there is no single party responsible for live networks. The Coinfirm AML Oracle offers both a partial and fully decentralized solution to proactively manage compliance risks and comply with regulations.

When users interact with a decentralized finance provider, their wallet address is queried for risk through the Coinfirm AML Oracle, which in turn passes data from Coinfirm’s API to generate a report ID C-Score based on 330+ risk evaluation scenarios that relays the information to the DEX.

The Future of Regulatory Compliance in Defi Space

In today’s complex environment organizations are embarking on Digital Transformation journey.  Compared to existing systems, blockchains are faster, cheaper, more reliable, and much more secure.  For example, in healthcare, patients often have medical history scattered among various medical records maintained in several health-care establishments.  The data is available only in the scope of those specific systems.  Having a Blockchain Medical Profile to store an individual’s medical profile that is accessible from anywhere at the time of need.  This omnipresence of the medical data will be a boon for the field of medical informatics.  

Similarly, in financial institutions, transactions that happens within and among financial institutions can be delivered, provided immediately, shared, and completely transparent stored on an immutable ledger via Blockchain technology.  

The faster the information is received and the more accurate it is, the better.  Blockchain is ideal for delivering that information because it provides immediate, shared and completely transparent information stored on an immutable ledger that can be accessed only by permissioned network members.  Blockchain technology and its infrastructure (hardware, software, and facilities, connectivity, mobility, performance, and security and such can be easily deployed and managed using ITIL best practices.
