The Future of Money Design Award 2018
The Future of Money Award has been running since 2009 and was created to develop links between the financial industry and creative practitioners from around the world. This is achieved by awarding the opportunity to present thought-provoking ideas to a group of financial experts and industry leaders, during Tomorrrow’s Transactions, the 20th annual Consult Hyperion Forum in London.
Arguably there has been no greater time of financial uncertainty than today and no greater need for fresh ideas and imaginative insights which help inform, suggest and question our current technological, social and cultural direction.

Artificial intelligence (AI)
This year, the FOM awards challenge you to imagine a socially beneficial way AI could be used in the context of payments. An AI that holds the possibility of new hopes or dreams. A technology to empower the people, not enslave them or make them redundant. An Artificial intelligence that will empower the disadvantaged when it comes to money. For instance, could an AI help the little guy unwrap and reclaim their overpaid tax? Or fight the algorithms behind price fluctuations in online shops? Or somehow act as a leveller against powerful but socially destructive institutions? Or could an AI bridge the gap between value in reality and its sometimes distorted monetary representation. (These are just a few examples, yours will be better
Be bold, ambitious and inventive.
