July 22, 2019

This article develops a framework for understanding and addressing the increasing role of artificial intelligence (‘AI’) in finance. It focuses on human responsibility as central to addressing the AI ‘black box’ problem — that is, the risk of an AI producing undesirable results that are unrecognised or unanticipated due to people’s difficulties in understanding the internal workings of an AI or as a result of the AI’s independent operation outside human supervision or involvement. 

After mapping the various use cases of AI in finance and explaining its rapid development, we highlight the range of potential issues and regulatory challenges concerning financial services AI and the tools available to address them. We argue that the most effective regulatory approaches to addressing the role of AI in finance bring humans into the loop through personal responsibility regimes, thus eliminating the black box argument as a defence to responsibility and legal liability for AI operations and decisions.

Finance has become one of the most globalized and digitized sectors of the economy. It is also one of the most regulated of sectors, especially since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. Globalization, digitization and money are propelling AI in finance forward at an ever increasing pace.

This paper develops a regulatory roadmap for understanding and addressing the increasing role of AI in finance, focusing on human responsibility: the idea of “putting the human in the loop” in order in particular to address “black box” issues.

Reflecting the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), its use in the financial services sector and growing regulatory scrutiny, the FinTech Association of Hong Kong (FTAHK), in collaboration with LITE Lab@HKU, has responded to the International Organization Of Securities Commission’s (IOSCO) consultation report on the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning by market intermediaries and asset managers.

The response strongly agrees with IOSCO that the use of AI and ML by market intermediaries and asset management firms creates novel opportunities and risks, with an overall need to foster trust in AI and financial markets. We believe that such risks should be appropriately mitigated by proportionate regulation that continues to foster responsible innovation in a way that promotes market integrity, fairness and investor protection, financial stability, competition and innovation. It should also support financial inclusion and combat financial crime.
