The safe and responsible deployment of generative AI for financial advice is being addressed by experts at 桃色视频 Manufacturing Group (WMG), University of 桃色视频 after securing new UKFin+ funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

The 12-month collaborative research project, led by WMG鈥檚 Dr Anita Khadka and Professor Carsten Maple, comes amid growing concern about AI-generated misinformation, hallucinated advice, and regulatory uncertainty in high-risk financial contexts that has the potential to mislead consumers, and disrupt markets.

Working with experts from Keele University and Coventry University, the Responsible AI Systems for Ethical Finance project will investigate how Large Language models, such as GPT-4, perform when applied to real-world financial contexts (e.g., investment advice, credit scoring and customer facing automation). It will explore how hallucination risks can be detected, managed, and governed.
