About this talk
Andrew Sutton will share from recent research on how finance may act both as an AI risk vector and risk mitigant. An account of societal risks of AI is incomplete without the financial system: a complex, global, opaque system upon which everyone depends. The relationship runs in both directions. AI may cause the financial system to fail, through sudden disruptions or slow degradation of core functions. Equally, finance can help reduce AI risk. Capital allocation, insurance and risk pricing can shape how AI is built and adopted, while finance offers lessons for managing misuse risks, interdependent risks, and international coordination. This talk surveys both sides and identifies research directions.
