Run by this chap: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Gensler

Now he seems very qualified in many ways, but his current trajectory seems to be pushing various AI & blockchain technologies which to my mind do not define what the term FinTech means. Not least because my experience of a lot of AI in fintech is that it is gibberish designed to make investors salivate who have been hoodwinked by market analysis propaganda

The course does seem to have some nice contextual placing of these technologies in the context of existing practices etc vis a vis blockchain.

The AI sections seem to be little more than relating the terminology
