AI-for-Finance Hubs: New York, London and Hong Kong Lead Index

AI-for-finance hubs are increasingly defined by production-grade deployment rather than experimentation, according to Deep Knowledge Group’s Global AI Competitiveness Index.

The report ranked the United States first among countries, followed by China, Britain, Switzerland and Singapore for AI-for-finance capability and maturity.

In the city-hub ranking, New York placed first, London second and Hong Kong third, citing connectivity, institutional concentration and regulated-market readiness.

The study said competitiveness is shifting towards governance readiness, data foundations and secure infrastructure as key determinants of speed in risk management, compliance and market operations.
