One of the international, regional and national AML/CFT systems’ priorities in terms of prospects for the introduction of new financial technology (FinTech) is the creation of a platform for constructive dialogue and support of innovation in financial services, and finding solutions for their regulation and control. FinTech innovations can improve financial inclusion of customers, entities, and communities.  The financial services paradigm can be reorganized around new platforms, infrastructures, and relations with service providers. The prospect of the international AML/CFT community’s efforts is to understand how these changes will affect the landscape of financial services, the stability of the financial system, and the opportunities to identify, eliminate or reduce risks and threats. In the modern world, financial threats and risks have become quite systemic things. Therefore, they can be dealt with only by systemic methods. Scientific and educational organizations play an important role in this fight. Joint efforts of financial monitoring bodies, the academic community, and network AML/CFT Institute will contribute to strengthening and development of the system of international and regional financial security.

In today’s modern life, societies have to embrace digital technologies at their homes (or offices) and use them to enhance the quality of their lives. The emergence of aging societies around the world prompts a more urgent need for having more affordable and easy-to-set-up “Smart Life Environment,” as well as assisted technologies used inside a home with high performance and efficient solutions and platforms. The adoption of the Internet and technology devices such as smart tracking devices, smartphones, and other sensors in other smart devices adds ubiquity and mobility to existing information systems and expands the horizon of endless possibility in research and development.

The development of technology has the potential to make many aspects of human life easier, which makes innovation in technology very important. Information technology plays one of the most important roles in the development of Indonesia. Information technology is a general term for any technology that helps people to create, modify, store, communicate, or disseminate information. It is closely associated with the Internet, and since the 1990s, the Internet has become an important part of Indonesian life. However, there are two very important things that should be inherent in any technological innovation—the technical and the social elements. It is undeniable that the technological innovation will have implications on the social life. These implications need to be elaborated by the scientists in the field of social studies. This conference is expected to be a place for researchers, academics, and students to share their research and studies in the context of the impact of technology information on political and social dynamics.

The Asia Pacific region today is one of the fastest-growing regions in the world with strong economic growth. Due to globalization, the world economy has undergone significant changes. While Europe’s economic growth has been slowing down, Asia Pacific’s consistently shows an impressive growth. In the next few years, the economic growth in the region will remain strong, in parallel with improving living standards in the region. With its huge population and strategic location, Asia Pacific offers many opportunities for countries outside the region to embark on collaboration and economic cooperation.
