About the Seminar
Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly Generative AI, is among the most powerful and influential forces in modern developments. It is a driving force of innovation. AI plays significant role in reshaping industries, including the financial sector, with the potential to revolutionize labour markets. Though it provides numerous advantages it also brings risks. Being a leader in adopting digital technologies, the financial industry faces unique pressures in balancing innovation with security and fairness. Central banks are making strong efforts to navigate the complexities of digital transformation in the financial sector while staying true to their core mandates – preserving monetary and financial stability – and contributing to the economic growth.
