Regulating Regtech: the Benefits of a Globalized Approach
111 Regulating Regtech: The Benefits of a Globalized Approach Anastasia KONINA1 Abstract: Regulatory technology, or RegTech, helps financial institutions around the world comply with a myriad of data-driven financial regulations. RegTech’s algorithms make thousands of decisions every day: they identify and block suspicious clients and transactions, monitor third party exposures, and maintain statutory capital thresholds. This article tackles one of the main problems of RegTech: the risks posed by inherently opaque algorithms that make the aforementioned decisions. It suggests that due to the fundamental 111 REGULATING REGTECH: THE BENEFITS OF A GLOBALIZED APPROACH APPROACH GLOBALIZED REGTECH: THEBENEFITS OFA REGULATING importance of RegTech for the robustness of global finance, a globalized model of regulating RegTech’s algorithms should be adopted. This model should be based on two facets of regulation: first, the soft law harmonizing instruments implemented by transgovernmental networks of cooperation; and, second, the domestic administrative instruments that adapt global requirements to particular jurisdictions. Anastasia KONINA Anastasia KONINA INTRODUCTION The financial system’s actors operate in the dynamic reporting and compliance environment prompted by the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008 (“the Global Financial Crisis of 2008”). In the post- crisis years, global and domestic regulators have created a regulatory regime that necessitates the collection, analysis, and reporting of granular data in real-time or near-to-real-time.2 The Dodd-Frank Act (US),3 the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (EU),4 and the Basel Committee’s “Principles for effective risk data aggregation and risk reporting” require5 financial institutions to collect, calculate, and report aggregated risk data from across the banking group. -

Algorithms in Business, Merchant-Consumer Interactions, & Regulation
California Western School of Law CWSL Scholarly Commons Faculty Scholarship 2021 Algorithms in Business, Merchant-Consumer Interactions, & Regulation Tabrez Y. Ebrahim Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarlycommons.law.cwsl.edu/fs Part of the Civil Rights and Discrimination Commons, Consumer Protection Law Commons, Internet Law Commons, and the Science and Technology Law Commons ALGORITHMS IN BUSINESS, MERCHANT- CONSUMER INTERACTIONS, & REGULATION Tabrez Y. Ebrahim* Abstract The shift towards the use of algorithms in business has transformed merchant-consumer interactions. Products and services are increasingly tailoredfor consumers through algorithms that collect and analyze vast amounts of data from interconnected devices, digital platforms, and social networks. While traditionally merchants and marketeers have utilized market segmentation, customer demographicprofiles, and statistical approaches, the exponential increase in consumer data and computing power enables them to develop and implement algorithmic techniques that change consumer markets and society as a whole. Algorithms enable targeting of consumers more effectively, in real-time, and with high predictive accuracy in pricing and profilingstrategies. In so doing, algorithms raise new theoreticalconsiderations on information asymmetry and power imbalances in merchant-consumer interactionsand multiply existing biases and discriminationor create new ones in society. Against this backdrop of the concentration of algorithmic decision- making in merchants, the traditionalunderstanding -

There seems to be some unnecessary confusion as to its form or genre. You can see that in the front matter of the American edition, in which it is described as “like no other history book,” “a collection of stories,” “faction,” “part detective story,” “a set of artfully interwoven genres,” “the least promis- ing fictional material of all time,” “reverse magical realism,” and “half novel/half history”. -

Why the United States Needs a National Artificial Intelligence Strategy and What It Should Look Like
Why the United States Needs a National Artificial Intelligence Strategy and What It Should Look Like By Joshua New | December 4, 2018 The United States is the global leader in developing and using artificial intelligence (AI), but it may not be for long. Succeeding in AI requires more than just having leading The United States companies make investments. It requires a healthy ecoystem should develop a of AI companies, robust AI inputs—including skills, research, national AI strategy and data—and organizations that are motivated and free to to bolster U.S. competitiveness and use AI. And that requires the federal government to support national security and the development and adoption of AI. Many other countries, maximize the social including China, France, and the United Kingdom, are and economic developing significant initiatives to gain global market share value of AI. in AI. While the U.S. government has taken some steps, it lacks a comprehensive strategy to proactively spur the development and adoption of AI. This report explains why a national AI strategy is necessary to bolster U.S. competitiveness, strengthen national security, and maximize the societal benefits that the country could derive from AI. It then lays out six overarching goals and 40 specific recommendations for Congress and the administration to support AI development and adoption. INTRODUCTION Computer scientists have worked since the 1950s to develop artificial intelligence—computer systems that perform tasks characteristic of human intelligence, such as learning and decision-making. But it is only in the last CENTER FOR DATA INNOVATION 1 decade that they have had all the technological building blocks necessary to achieve their vision.
