Goal: We urge financial regulators and policymakers to implement robust transparency and regulatory frameworks governing the use of AI in financial markets to protect public interests and ensure fair, stable markets.
AI technologies are rapidly transforming the financial sector, enabling complex market predictions and automated trading at unprecedented scales. While these tools can increase efficiency, they also introduce new risks of market manipulation, algorithmic bias, and systemic instability. The lack of transparency in how AI models operate and make decisions leaves both investors and the public vulnerable to opaque and potentially unfair market outcomes.
Recent analyses, such as those surrounding major geopolitical events, demonstrate how AI-driven speculation can amplify volatility and influence market sentiment. Without clear regulatory standards, there is a danger that AI could be used to exacerbate inequality, undermine market integrity, and erode public trust.
We call on regulators to act now, ensuring that financial AI systems are subject to strict transparency requirements, ethical guidelines, and public oversight. The future of our financial markets depends on responsible and democratic governance of these powerful technologies.
