Description:
AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a transformative technology that has shown its potential during recent years. The fast development of AI methods and data centricity in finance is providing opportunities, but it is also posing new challenges to our economies. These technologies could change our societies profoundly, and therefore well-planned and targeted policies are key to develop a safe and sustainable society with AI.
Similarly to recent years, this year’s Systemic Risk Analytics conference has a strong focus on AI and systemic risk. The aim of the conference is to present innovative research for financial stability and systemic risk analysis that adopt novel AI methods and techniques or use new data sources. Examples of possible topics include how LLMs can be used to detect systemic risk, how the use of AI can change interdependencies in the financial markets and whether AI, possibly combined with quantum computing, can pose new sources of systemic risks, e.g. operational risks and cyber risks.
Beyond of this, the conference welcomes submissions on more traditional tools of systemic risk analytics and macroprudential policy, such as early-warning indicators, network and contagion analysis, macro stress-testing and tools for big data analytics.
Topics
The themes of the conference cover policy and practitioner-oriented research related to systemic risk analytics, measurement and policy. We solicit contributions covering a broad range of techniques related to systemic risk analytics, particularly related to (but not limited to) the following themes:
Use of Large Language Models (LLM) and trustworthy AI
- AI and changing interdependencies in the financial markets
- Cyber security and operational risks as sources of systemic risk
- AI and Quantum Computing as potential source of new systemic risks
- Use of AI with big data for systemic risk analytics
- Risks and opportunities stemming from disruptive innovations in financial technology (FinTech)
- Analysing emerging risks from interconnectedness of the financial system
- Identifying risks from market-based finance
- Modelling geopolitical risks
- Using systemic risk analytics to support macro-prudential policy and regulation
- Evidence of macroprudential policy measures
