Technological frontiers in finance: A perspective on financial markets stability related to AI, quantum computing and cyber developments
Thursday 25 September 2025
2 pm (Welcome coffee at 1:30pm)
Conference organized by AMF and AEFR
Join senior leaders from global financial regulators, international financial centers, academia, and industry for a unique exchange.
The conference will be held at the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs (37, quai d'Orsay - 75007 Paris)
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing is reshaping the global financial landscape at a pace that challenges existing regulatory and supervisory frameworks and approaches to cyber risk management. These innovations hold great promise - from enhancing financial modelling, to simplifying supervision through greater automation, and enabling real-time risk detection. Yet, they also introduce new layers of complexity, uncertainty, and potential systemic vulnerabilities.
As AI becomes increasingly integrated into trading, credit assessment, portfolio management, and regulatory reporting, it alters the dynamics of the financial sector and raises questions about the adequacy of current supervisory tools. Meanwhile, the emergence of quantum computing, coupled with the growing severity of cyber threats, presents considerable challenges to financial stability and operational resilience.
In this context, high-tech firms are not only key enablers but also strategic partners in shaping the financial system of tomorrow. Together with financial institutions and supervisory authorities, they can help define these new frontiers to foster greater market efficiency while safeguarding financial stability.
The international conference organised on September 25th will be an opportunity to address these various topics, with a perspective on their financial stability implications.
