Igor Alutin, senior managing director at the Moscow Exchange, stated that actions taken by artificial intelligence (AI) in financial markets must be explainable, controllable, and safeguarded. He highlighted that AI should not replace humans or function as independent asset managers but rather serve as a financial adviser that offers personalized scenarios. Alutin noted that the emergence of AI agents capable of making independent trading decisions marks a significant technological advancement, akin to the impact of high-frequency trading and algorithmic trading. The Moscow Exchange adheres to a human-in-the-loop principle, ensuring that humans set the operational goals and rules for AI. This discussion comes ahead of the 29th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2026), which is scheduled for June 3-6, focusing on creating a stable economic future, with Saudi Arabia as the guest country. The forum will explore new models of global development amid ongoing economic transformations and will feature various thematic discussions and cultural events.
