Roadmap for AI and Quantum

Financial Institutions and Technology Providers - Risks, Benefits, and Regulatory Responses | 金融機関とテクノロジープロバイダー──リスク、メリット、そして規制対応

About this session

This roundtable aims to examine the financial sector's increasing dependence on a concentrated group of technology and AI providers to identify systemic risks and operational benefits. By leveraging research from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF), the session will explore market concentration drivers, evaluate the trade-off between technological efficiency and ethical or operational vulnerabilities, and review global regulatory responses to Critical Third Parties (CTPs). Ultimately, the discussion intends to produce actionable lessons for regional regulators and provide foundational insights for forthcoming CCAF studies on AI governance and cross-border supervisory coordination.

本ラウンドテーブルでは、金融セクターにおいて限られたテクノロジー企業やAIプロバイダーへの依存が強まっている現状を取り上げ、そこから生じ得るシステミックリスクと業務上の利点を検討します。

ケンブリッジ・オルタナティブ金融センター（CCAF）の調査を踏まえ、市場集中が進む要因を分析するとともに、技術効率の向上と倫理面・運用面における脆弱性との間にあるトレードオフを評価します。さらに、重要な第三者（Critical Third Parties：CTPs）をめぐる各国の規制対応の動向も整理します。本ラウンドテーブルを通じて、地域の規制当局にとって実践的な視点を示すとともに、AIガバナンスおよび国境を越えた監督連携に関するCCAFの今後の研究の出発点となる知見を提示します。

About this session

Digital assets are shifting from pilot projects to live deployment, with interoperability, infrastructure design, and regulatory compliance becoming key priorities.
Global Layer One (GL1) addresses how these critical workstreams can develop cohesively through shared standards. This roundtable discusses how common technical, operational, and policy frameworks can deliver interoperability across different market infrastructures, integrate compliance directly into system architecture, and enable secure, scalable adoption of digital assets in global finance.

デジタル資産は、実証実験から本格的な実装の段階へと移りつつあり、相互運用性やインフラ設計、規制順守が主要な優先課題となっています。

Global Layer One（GL1）は、こうした重要な取り組みを、共通基準のもとでどのように一体的に発展させていくかを探る国際的な構想です。本ラウンドテーブルでは、共通の技術的・運用的・政策的枠組みによって、異なる市場インフラ間の相互運用性を実現し、コンプライアンスをシステム設計に組み込みながら、デジタル資産を安全かつ拡張可能な形でグローバル金融へ導入する道筋について議論します。
