Artificial Intelligence in Central Banking

Abstract

This chapter identifies the benefit and risks of artificial intelligence in central banking. The benefit of artificial intelligence for central banks is that deploying artificial intelligence systems will encourage central banks to develop information technology (IT) and data science capabilities, it will assist central banks in detecting financial stability risks, it will aid the search for granular micro economic/non-economic data from the internet so that the data can support central banks in making policy decisions, it enables the use of AI-generated synthetic data, and it enables task automation in central banking operations. However, the use of artificial intelligence in central banking poses some risks which include data privacy risk, the risk that using synthetic data could lead to false positives, high risk of embedded bias, difficulty in explaining AI-based central bank policy decisions, and cybersecurity risk.
