Conference Theme
Artificial intelligence (AI) creates vast opportunities for reshaping business and the economy. It has the potential to enhance productivity, reduce costs, accelerate operations, and deliver significant benefits to consumers and society. Nowhere is this transformation more evident than in finance, where AI tools can analyze vast quantities of information to inform business decisions, improve efficiency, and reduce human error. It can thus streamline business processes and free up resources for more productive uses.
However, like all major innovations, AI also carries risks. It can itself be prone to error, and developing sound practices to ensure its responsible use — and to avoid potential misuse — is essential.
This conference will examine both the opportunities and challenges of applying AI to identify and manage risks in finance and related activities. That may involve enhancing the monitoring of firms, markets, and their activities. It may also enable deeper research into financial and systemic risks — including identifying and addressing data gaps exposed by such analysis.
