Supervision and AI

About this learning event

At this webinar, we will explore the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) across financial sectors, drawing insights from the IMF's Global Financial Stability Report and other publications and engagements of the IMF, the Central Bank of Spain and the Cambridge SupTech Lab. Our discussion will focus on established and emerging AI use cases from traditional banking services. A key focus of our discussion will be understanding how widespread AI adoption affects financial stability and its regulatory oversight. We'll also explore practical challenges facing regulators and supervisors and possible approaches to address these issues.
