Beyond Legacy: AI-Driven Payments, Treasury, and Trust
AI is transforming business—yet most enterprises remain stuck in legacy workflows. The question is no longer whether to adopt AI, but how to make AI agents work across the commerce journey. In this joint keynote, Ant International leaders will unveil one intelligent infrastructure for autonomous commerce. Merchants will discover how to build a new growth paradigm with AI-powered payments, optimise cross-border treasury with AI-driven routing, and navigate commerce with security that is reliable, credible, and dependable. This is not about products—it is about outcomes: smarter payments, optimised liquidity, and trust that enables innovation.
