Goal: We call for robust oversight, transparency, and public accountability in the use of AI within financial markets to protect the interests of everyday people and ensure fair economic practices.
Artificial intelligence is now a major player in global financial markets, with algorithms rapidly analyzing news, geopolitical events, and market data to influence trading decisions. As demonstrated in recent AI-generated market predictions following high-profile political summits, these systems can amplify volatility and affect the livelihoods of millions.
However, the deployment of AI in finance currently lacks sufficient transparency, oversight, and public input. Unregulated AI-driven trading can exacerbate market swings, worsen inequality, and undermine democratic accountability. Without clear rules and public scrutiny, a handful of corporations and hedge funds can leverage AI to manipulate markets for private gain at the expense of the broader public.
We must not allow financial markets to be dictated by opaque algorithms that serve narrow interests. It is time to demand responsible AI governance, open data standards, and meaningful regulatory action to ensure that technological advancements in finance benefit everyone—not just the wealthy few.
