Background
A study from Parliament’s Research service highlights the intertwined relationship between AI and the financial sector. AI profoundly affects and transforms decision-making in financial markets and services. The process transforms the typical activities performed in these markets and allows for a new range of financial services, inducing innovations on transactions, assets and improving access to financial markets and services. Regulators worldwide have already noticed that the interaction between AI and the financial sector can have profound and important consequences, with opportunities but also specific risks.
