We’re delighted to share an article that Jonathan Di Rollo, Director of Development at the Asia Scotland Institute, is featured in – Q3 2025 edition of 4EJournazine, published by the Financial Planning Association of Malaysia.
His contribution appears in the feature section titled “Machine Learning Transforms Asian Fintech”, which explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping financial services across the region.

His insights point to a future where AI is not only a technological disruptor but also a key driver of economic inclusion, financial resilience, and practical innovation.
