On Wednesday (local time), a survey published by the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF) brought to light that artificial intelligence (AI) has yet to be woven into the core operations of central banks across the globe. This survey gathered data from 10 central banks hailing from Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Asia. These institutions are responsible for managing assets worth approximately $6.5 trillion. The findings indicated that 61% of the central banks reported that AI has not played a significant role in bolstering their operations. At present, the initial applications of AI tools are predominantly centered around routine analytical tasks, rather than delving into risk management or portfolio construction. Central banks that are early in adopting AI technologies tend to perceive it more as a handy tool for day - to - day convenience rather than a strategic asset for long - term planning.
