Abstract

Under the context of digital economy, financial "data silo" is being replaced by "integrated big data", the penetration of artificial intelligence technology into the field of finance is increasing, and digital intelligence financial talent training is imperative, and the adjustment of university talent training also needs to be followed up accordingly. After analysing both the external environment and internal work changes, it has been identified that the transformation of financial work needs to be transformed and financial training in universities needs to be adjusted.  The results of the questionnaire data have revealed three significant "divergent" dilemmas in the process of cultivating digital and intelligent financial talents in universities: the teaching content, teaching process, and teaching force. Therefore, a proposed “integrated" financial and numerical intelligence talent training reform programme includes the integration of "finance" and "numerical intelligence" courses as well as an “industry-academia-research-use" four-pronged approach. This includes an Industry-University-Research-Use" four-in-one teaching platform, which integrates the teaching process and "speciality, expertise and newness" vocational ability cultivation objectives, along with internal incentives and external faculty introduction system.
