This roundtable reflects Elevandi’s commitment to supporting inclusive policy making in AI & Quantum, which included the 2023 Singapore FinTech Festival’s Outlook of AI and report “Global AI Governance: Convergence or Fragmentation?”.

Financial services (FS) have much at stake and much to contribute to the AI technology and standards work currently underway; however, FS firms and their regulators are not necessarily at the center of the debate. Financial grade validation and trust are essential for new developments in GenAI and LLM to be fully employed for customer facing use cases in financial services. The increasing move to third party models and technology development outside the firewall are challenging the well-established governance frameworks FIs had put in place for predictive AI and machine learning. At the same time, existing data and cloud access frameworks are integral to determining how AI develops, is accessed, and the outcomes it delivers for the economy.

Moving forward, links between roles, standards, technology design, and data frameworks will determine the trajectory for AI development and outcomes across markets. Operating under the theme of Forming Frontier Tech, this roundtable led by the Institute for International Finance will convene industry leaders, technical experts, and policy makers in a dialogue to identify key points and links between technology design and development, standards and regulations, the path for adoption, and the prospects for deployments.

President of France said ‘we are regulating things that we have not yet produced or invented. It is not a good idea.’ CEO of CB Insights echoed the thought ‘The EU now has more AI regulations than meaningful AI companies.’

The questions:
- The risk of a larger non-EU-based partner using its market power to pull high-potential EU-based AI startups out of the EU. Mistral-Ai proves that risk. Germany’s Aleph Alphi and UK-based Synthesia and StabilityAI too.
- Voluntary flight of startups to non-EU locations including US, in search of capital, and more open to innovation policies. E.g. USA, Japan
- EU-based startups having to develop new code bases if they wish to sell outside of the EU, which means more time, cost, and risk
- Foundation models such as GPT-4 have been termed ‘systemic’. Has this aggressive categorization come too early?
- Need for greater transparency. To publish publicly available summaries of training data which might affect competitiveness and IP
- How does one go about educating citizens of how algorithmic harms happen if citizens have been given more agency to complain about AI systems.

Startups developing or using general purpose AI models will need to comply with transparency obligations, such as providing model documentation and ensuring copyright compliances. And while large models like OpenAI, Meta, Google, etc., will be under greater scrutiny, every application (think every startup) that uses them behind the scenes may also be at risk.

The questions:
- Is the EU missing another tech wave with AI regulation?
- Prioritising between producing startups and producing standards
- How are the new measures to assist startups with dedicated access to supercomputers (AI factories) being received by the community
- Startups may struggle to identify whether their systems fall under the high-risk category, leading to uncertainty and potential compliance issues
- Is there a risk that rival nations will poach top AI talent from the EU much easier now?

The aim of the workshop is to outline the future of banking supervision in times of technological and methodological progress. The focus is on tools for automated risk assessments of supervised financial institutions and how these can be further developed using AI methodologies and alternative data. 

FINMA will present its most important Suptech tool, namely its well-established rating system for banks. This monitoring tool is used to automatically evaluate and graphically present financial figures, risk parameters and audit results of banks. This allows supervisors to always know current risk ratings and to allocate their resources in a targeted manner. 

To take it one step further, FINMA is currently running a project to improve the rating system using methods of artificial intelligence and alternative data. To do this, a Data Innovation Lab has been set up in which data scientists are developing innovative applications for supervision. FINMA will show in which areas they see the greatest added value. Finally, exciting applications and results from the lab will be presented. 

The presentation is primarily aimed at supervisory authorities and representatives of the financial industry or academia who are interested in digitalisation, risk assessment tools, innovative supervisory approaches and applied methods of artificial intelligence. 

The following questions will be discussed: 
- What does data-based supervision actually mean? 
- How can supervision benefit from methodological and technological advances? 
- Which methods and specific applications of artificial intelligence bring the greatest added value? 
- What will supervision look like in the future? 

Besides the presentation, there will be time for questions and discussions, and to arrange further contacts and collaborations.

A threat looming over the confidentiality of financial data is quantum computing. At some point – maybe not so far away – quantum computers may be able to break the encryption algorithms used in today’s financial system. Can Quantum resistance be achieved in time? And if yes, what are the challenges in preparing a safe transition to post-quantum cryptography?
