Workshop Abstract
Workshop Abstract
The finance sector is seeing a rapid increase in the application of machine learning and AI, with Large Language Models (LLMs), ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, and AI Safety significantly reshaping the field. This workshop focuses on how these advancements intersect with core financial AI applications. We will foster interdisciplinary discussion on applying LLMs to finance, addressing challenges in multilingual and non-English markets like Korea. The event will also highlight the integration of ESG signals into algorithmic decision-making and explore AI Safety, emphasizing reliability, fairness, and explainability for AI systems in regulated financial environments. By bringing together experts from academia, industry, and regulatory bodies, the workshop aims to stimulate discussions on practical issues, ethical dilemmas, and cutting-edge research shaping financial AI's future. We welcome submissions that combine technical rigor with societal relevance in AI-driven financial decisions.
Workshop Theme and Topics
This workshop explores the evolving landscape of machine learning and AI applications in finance, with a particular focus on the emerging roles of Large Language Models (LLMs), responsible AI practices, and risk-aware decision-making. As financial institutions increasingly adopt AI technologies, the demand for interpretable, trustworthy, and domain-aligned models is higher than ever. This workshop aims to bridge technical advances with real-world constraints, regulatory expectations, and ethical considerations.
Topics of Interest include, but are not limited to:
LLMs for financial applications: fine-tuning, prompting, retrieval, and evaluation
Risk modeling and robust learning under distributional shifts in financial data
AI safety, fairness, and explainability in high-stakes financial environments
Multi-lingual and region-specific challenges in applying AI to finance
Responsible AI development and deployment in fintech, banking, and asset management
