#TEST
About the Accountables hacakthon
APIX was launched in 2018 to enable financial institutions to assess their Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics (AIDA)-driven solutions against the principles of Fairness, Ethics, Accountability and Transparency (FEAT). The FEAT principles were co-created by MAS and the financial industry to provide guidance to firms offering financial products and services on the responsible use of AIDA and to strengthen internal governance around data management and use.

The concept: Fairness
Using the Global Veritas Challenge 2021 as the first step to implement Responsible AI, we will focus on the Fairness principle during this challenge.
Who can join?
We are inviting AI firms, FinTech firms, start-ups, financial institutions and tech solution providers across the globe to develop innovative technology-based solutions that can help financial service providers adhere to the Fairness principle. This would guard against bias and improve access to financial services.
How the challenge works
The Fairness problem statements have been grouped into four themes, and participating teams can select any one of the problem statements below to develop scalable and practical solutions addressing them.
Based on the proposals submitted (during registration), up to 10 teams will be selected to receive mentorship from subject matter experts and be given access to the APIX AI Sandbox (Veritas) to prototype their solutions. The APIX AI Sandbox (Veritas) is a comprehensive testing and development platform that will include data sets and APIs that teams can use as part of their solutions. From these 10 teams, three winners will be awarded S$50,000 each and the opportunity to present their solutions during the Singapore FinTech Festival
Bringing your solutions to life
On top of the cash prize, the 10 finalist teams will stand a chance to work with banks to implement their solutions. Banks may be eligible for up to S$1.5M in funding support under the AIDA grant for qualifying projects. Finalists will also have the opportunity to be part of the Veritas project in 2022 to further expand their solution with financial support.

Problem Statements
The problem statement categories, representing different functional objectives of CBDCs have been proposed for this year's G20 TechSprint.
Within each of the categories, a Main Problem Statement has been identified together with two Optional (bonus) Problem Statements. These were developed in consultation with the G20 and represent common high priority gaps and opportunities where innovative technology solutions in the CBDC space and sought.
Teams will need to register for one of the categories (either A, B or C) and submit proposals that addresses the Main Problem Statement. In addition, teams may also submit proposals to address the additional functionalities listed in either or both of the Optional Problem Statements.
Teams that successfully address the Optional Problem Statements will be awarded with bonus scores. However teams that do not address the Main Problem Statement and only the Optional Problem Statements will be disqualified.
Problem Statement #1 - ENABLING CONNECTIVITY AND INTEROPERABILTY
Interested Teams need to propose solutions that addresses how CBDC platforms can enable payments in an efficient, scalable manner that complies with regulation.
In addition to the Main Problem Statement, Teams who wish to compete for bonus scores can also submit proposals to address Optional Problem Statement 1, Optional Problem Statement 2 or both.
Do note that if selected, shortlisted teams who have indicated a desire to attempt the Optional Problem Statements would need to be able to develop and incorporate these added functionalities into their main prototypes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Problem Statement: How might we link up CBDC platforms to enable cross border payments (PvP and DvP) in a manner that is efficient, scalable & comply with the regulation.
Optional Problem Statement 1: How might we enable connectivity and interoperability with other CBDCs, with existing domestic payment rails (including national payments rails & privately operated e-money rails), and with other FMIs to enhance adoption and usage?
Optional Problem Statement 2: How might we enable connectivity between CBDC and other DLT platforms to settle transactions in cash and/or securities (including DvP) in a manner that is secure, fast, and easy to implement?
Problem Statement #2 - Product Marketing
Financial institutions are increasingly adopting AI-based marketing, which involves use of external customer datasets such as social media and marketing data.
How can validations and controls be built to diagnose and assess the fairness of an AIDA marketing solution which uses acquired external data?

Problem Statement #3 - Risk, Compliance & Fraud Monitoring
Fraud detection solutions typically rely on historical and/or statistical datasets such as transaction patterns, demographics, and geo-location data to identify suspicious activities or behaviours. This may lead to unknown or unintended biases (e.g. a particular demographic group being flagged out).
How can fairness be incorporated into the algorithm development, testing and data handling process to ensure that there is no unintended bias against a particular group of individuals while protecting financial institutions against potential fraud?
