Advanced #machinelearning models were found to be more effective than #linearregression in predicting firm performance under #naturaldisaster #risks. The study suggests that textual data in #financialreports can be used to measure the perceived natural disaster risk and predict its effects on firm performance.

#machinelearning #algorithms are increasingly for #riskassessment in the #insuranceindustry, with hybrid methods often outperforming individual ones. Research has identified challenges such as tackling imbalanced datasets, selecting features, and improving interpretability. Newer methods such as #deeplearning and ensembles may further improve accuracy.

This paper examines the use of #machinelearning methods in the context of #banks' #capitalrequirements, specifically the internal Ratings Based (#irb) approach. The authors discuss the advantages and risks of using machine learning in this domain, and provide recommendations related to #risk parameter estimations, #regulatory capital, the trade-off between performance and interpretability, international #banking competition, and #governance, #operationalrisk, and training.

"We use the recently failed #svb as a case study. Our [#machinelearning #textanalysis] findings indicate a weaker emphasis on #riskgovernance by SVB and an environment, particularly after 2011, where the #ceo became more dominant in influencing SVB’s #riskculture. We also show that despite recognition of the portfolio problems, SVB’s CEO’s tone indicated that #regulatorycompliance and #riskstrategy of the #bank would #mitigate these #risks. We observe an alignment between the #riskculture of SVB and other banks with the highest uninsured deposits as well as with two #us #gsibs."

This paper addresses the challenges associated with the adoption of #machinelearning (#ml) in #financialinstitutions. While ML models offer high predictive accuracy, their lack of explainability, robustness, and fairness raises concerns about their trustworthiness. Furthermore, proposed #regulations require high-risk #ai systems to meet specific #requirements. To address these gaps, the paper introduces the Key AI Risk Indicators (KAIRI) framework, tailored to the #financialservices industry. The framework maps #regulatoryrequirements from the #euaiact to four measurable principles (Sustainability, Accuracy, Fairness, Explainability). For each principle, a set of statistical metrics is proposed to #measure, #manage, and #mitigate #airisks in #finance.

This article discusses the need for #regulation of #robots and #ai in #europe, focusing on the issue of #civil #liability. Despite multiple attempts to harmonize #eu#tort #law, only the liability of producers for defective products has been successfully harmonized so far. The #aiact, published by the #europeancommission in 2021, aims to #regulate AI at the European level by classifying #smartrobots as "high risk systems", but does not address liability rules. This article explores liability issues related to AI and robots, particularly when using #deeplearning #machinelearning techniques that challenge the traditional liability paradigm.

"... studies in various findings suggests a positive link between ESG and the financial performance of an organization."

"Considering the proliferation of articles in this field, and the potential for the use of ML, we propose a review of the academic literature to assess how ML is enabling climate finance to scale up. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a structure of application domains in a highly fragmented research field, aiming to spur further innovative work from ML experts."

"Machine learning methods are getting more and more important in the development of internal models using scenario generation. As internal models under Solvency 2 have to be validated, an important question is in which aspects the validation of these data-driven models differs from a classical theory-based model."

"This study proposes a comprehensive method (with representative AI-Technologies as a data basis) for the structured and targeted categorization and classification of AI under the risk-based audit approach. Initial feedback received by AI-Experts regarding the design and development of the artifact is collected. With the developed method, the study contributes to the descriptive and prescriptive knowledge base regarding the categorization and classification of AI within the auditing and accounting profession."
