Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"The integration of general-purpose AI into high-frequency trading, market-making, or systemic risk management could exacerbate systemic risk by exhibiting unexpected behavioral patterns during market stress. Moreover, the concentration of a few homogeneous foundation models across financial institutions may foster correlated decision-making and herd-following behaviors. The widespread adoption of AI agents could also amplify volatility through emergent phenomena from multi-agent interactions.23 All of these could precipitate a cascading global-scale financial system instability, with potential economic losses exceeding trillion of dollars worldwide."
