Join us for a virtual panel discussion, organised by EU40 and the European Parliament’s Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA) on the topic of: “Sustainable finance: How AI can help account for climate risks”, hosted by MEP Eva Kaili, EU40 President & STOA Chair.
The financial sector mobilises the resources and investments for modern economies to generate growth. To ensure its sustainability, market and investors must be able to price climate risks and take into account the environmental and social impact of businesses and services. Significant advances in machine learning and the increasing digitalisation of the economy make AI a powerful ally in this quest.
Can AI help us set more ambitious climate goals?
How can machine learning help markets identify and price climate risks?
In what way will AI revolutionise predictive finance?
What are the risks of delegating sustainable finance decisions to autonomous systems? What are the implications for regulators?
The event brings together various policymakers, civil society, and academia. Speakers will discuss how digital technologies, specifically AI, can boost sustainability in the financial sector and lead to better predictive analyses.
