Technology advancements are driving the digitalization of financial markets, and large-scale investment in new emerging technologies are fundamentally changing the operating environment as finance is becoming more data driven. While these innovations in artificial intelligence and big data have the potential to engender new systemic vulnerabilities in financial markets, they can also serve as the next generation foundation for safeguarding financial stability.
As the impact of data and technology on finance is becoming more pronounced, the Bank of Finland is hosting a conference entitled Data Driven Financial Stability: Opportunities and Challenges in Big Data on 2–3 December.
TOPICS AND PROGRAMME
The program will deal with the following themes
- New data centric risks and opportunities
- Alternative data and data mining as a source of new insight
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud platforms
- Collaboration and open source initiatives
- The future of financial stability
The conference will take place on 2-3 December 2019 at Finlandia Hall in Helsinki and it includes keynotes and panel discussions.
The conference will be streamed and following live stream does not require separate registration.
TARGET GROUP
We welcome central bankers, supervisors, market participants, fintechs, academics and experts of the conference topics to participate in the conference.
