This collaborative project aims to:

• Develop a reflection on the challenges of responsible AI deployment by the Authority's various constituencies and the Authority itself.
  • From the point of view of consumers of financial products and services;
  • From the point of view of experts and market players;
  • To contribute to the AMF's reflection on the responsible use of AI and data in the financial industry;
  • Inform the general public and financial sector professionals of the ethical and societal risks associated with AI;
• Recommend standards to guide this deployment in the industry, and then clarify the ethical issues associated with the use of AI and AI data in the financial industry.
  • Better regulate the use of these innovative but sometimes ethically risky technologies;
  • Formulate ways to mitigate the risks associated with these techniques;
  • Better protect citizens.

The ethical framework of the project will be the Montreal Declaration for a Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence, which is the most comprehensive multi-stakeholder ethical framework to date. The objective is to use this framework to guide the sectoral analysis and to formulate practical recommendations.

Nathalie de Marcellis-Warin, President and Chief Executive Officer of CIRANO, Full Professor at Polytechnique Montréal and co-responsible for the International Observatory on the Societal Impacts of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies (OBVIA) "Monitoring and Investigations" section, and Robert Normand, Projects Director at CIRANO are involved in this project on the use of artificial intelligence in Finance with Marc-Antoine Dilhac, Director of Algora Lab and professor at the University of Montreal, and several research professionals.

"By analyzing the information that will be provided and the expectations that will be formulated, we will be able to better ensure that technology, and artificial intelligence in particular, is used responsibly, for the benefit of consumers", he added.
