AI in Business and Finance

The OECD is currently examining the tremendous potential and corresponding challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) applications for business and finance. The 2021 edition of the OECD Business and Finance Outlook highlights the ways that AI is transforming market structures, business models and corporate behaviour, focusing on key policy areas such as finance, competition, responsible business conduct and security concerns related to foreign direct investment in AI. The report also examines the supervisory technology tools that can ensure regulatory oversight, detection and enforcement by governments in these areas. It puts forward priorities and recommendations for policy makers and market participants seeking to strike a balance between fostering innovation in AI while also mitigating associated risks to market stability and a level playing field.
