Geneva Macro Labs’ Post

Trust is essential in finance. We have seen that in crypto: Good and succesful projects but also lots of scam. Today, this has been largely reduced. Sustainable finance is the new crypto. Many announcements, brilliant ideas, good projects but also broken promises and sometimes even fraud. With crypto, long-term verification is relatively easy. How well did your investment pay back? With sustainable finance, it is much harder. More than 40 billions of the climate fonds of the World Bank is unaccounted for, many carbon certificates are without any positive impact on the climate. We need to establish safeguards to save and regain trust for sustainable finance. Can we trust metrics? Can we trust certificates, or what can we really trust? How can AI help us to regain trust for sustainable finance? Come and join us at Building Bridges in Geneva on December 12th! https://lnkd.in/ezt5wDrB

Very interesting piece by Tiago C. Peixoto and colleagues on some of the potential unintended consequences of AI on governments, their functioning and the social contract. Although the paper strikes a pretty pessimistic tone, I particularly liked the part where the authors talk about some of the potential ways in which these possible trends could be addressed, mitigated or even reversed. I believe that this part deserves more emphasis, with more examples and scenarios (real and imagined). (I was intrigued, for example, by some recent conversations with people about the potential of AI to transform government transparency and make it much more targeted and user-friendly) The debate will no doubt continue...
