YSI @ AI in Finance and Central Banking – Post-conference of Banque de France AI Methods 2025

Artificial Intelligence has recently made significant inroads into the financial sector and within financial and monetary authorities. Reports from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the Financial Stability Board have identified various ways in which AI introduces new challenges, including risks of financial instability and biases. At the same time, AI holds the potential to enhance the daily operations of central banks and financial supervisors by improving forecasting, monitoring, and risk assessment.

For investigating these themes, we invite the submission of papers for a Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Finance and Central Banking, with the following research questions:

• How is artificial intelligence transforming financial markets?
• And how can monetary and financial authorities leverage AI tools to tackle emerging financial stability challenges?

The Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Finance and Central Banking will be held in person at Sciences Po, Paris, on Wednesday, 29 October 2025.

The workshop is a post-conference workshop for young scholars, following the Banque de France AI Methods Conference 2025, which will take place on the 27-28 October 2025.  Selected participants will be able to attend the Banque de France conference, while presenting at the Young Scholars post-conference.

This workshop is part of a CIVICA initiative jointly executed by EUI, Sciences Po, SSE and IE, counting also on the support of the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI). The workshop will welcome submissions from early career researchers.

 Possible topics of Paper Submission:

•  Use-Cases of AI in Central Banking and financial supervision.
• The use of AI and GenAI in banking, asset management and payments.
• Regulatory challenges and ethical considerations of AI in central banking and finance.
• LLM-based analysis of financial authorities and markets data.
