National Bank Governor Anca Dragoo, attending the AI & Big Data Conference: Regional AI Valley 2026, a conference on artificial intelligence and the use of data in economics, finance and public policy, said AI “has great potential to support the work of central banks in areas such as economic data analysis, financial supervision and risk identification, contributing to a better understanding of economic and financial developments.”
AI is already being used for optical character recognition in the conversion of scanned documents, in the classification of key information. In the future, AI will be used to increase the productivity of NBM staff in analyzing information from internal legal and procedural sources.
“Our goal is to integrate AI in such a way as to increase operational efficiency and decision-making, while making sure that these innovations will not have a negative impact on data security and financial stability,” emphasized the NBM President.
According to the NBM president, artificial intelligence can also be used in areas such as fraud detection and anti-money laundering (AML), automation of reporting processes, ensuring consistency and accuracy of regulatory files, modeling complex interrelationships in the financial system.
