Following the publication of number 159 of the Revue d'Économie Financière (REF), devoted to “Finance in the era of artificial intelligence”, the Louis Bachelier Institute and the Europe-Finances-Regulations Association are pleased to invite you to the REF conference intended to present and discuss the main issues.

• Philippe Aghion, Nobel Prize in Economics 2025, on The economic impact of AI, between innovation, productivity and the need for balanced regulation.

• Cédric Villani, Fields Medal, on the ethical and societal challenges of an AI integrated into finance: transparency, possible excesses, ecological impact, data sovereignty and collective responsibility.

Through 14 articles signed by 22 experts, the Journal offers an analysis structured around three main areas:

1 ️The economic challenges of deploying AI
Automation, innovation, productivity gains, the role of data, and accelerated idea generation.

2 ️The impact on the financial sector
Risk management, market transformation, alternative data, service personalization, market finance and inclusion.

3 ️ ※Risks and supervision
Algorithmic biases, model opacity, systemic risks, alignment of goals, technological sovereignty and international regulatory approaches.

At the heart of this issue: the rise ofGenerative AI, which is changing decision-making, redistributing value chains and imposing new standards of transparency and governance.
