为AI金融风险设计分层代理监管框架,实时防控新兴威胁。
The Agentic Regulator: Risks for AI in Finance and a Proposed Agent-based Framework for Governance
- 用四层代理模块实现动态监管:模型自控、企业治理、监管监控与独立审计。
- 案例验证可实时识别并隔离多智能体交易中的隐蔽操纵行为。
- 适合关注金融AI合规与系统性风险的监管机构和金融机构。
生成式与自主型人工智能正以超越现有治理能力的速度进入金融市场。现行模型风险框架假设算法静态且定义明确,而大语言模型与多智能体交易系统通过持续学习、隐含信号交换及涌现行为,打破了这些假设。基于复杂适应系统理论,我们将其建模为去中心化集成系统,风险在多时间尺度上传播。为此提出模块化治理架构,将监管分解为四层‘监管模块’:(i) 嵌入各模型旁的自我监管模块,(ii) 企业级治理块聚合本地遥测数据并执行政策,(iii) 监管机构托管的代理监测行业范围内的共谋或破坏性模式,(iv) 独立审计模块提供第三方保证。八项设计策略使监管模块能随被监管模型同步演进。多智能体交易中涌现的虚假挂单案例表明,该分层控制可在实时中隔离有害行为,同时保留创新空间。该架构兼容现有模型风险规则,弥补关键可观测性与控制缺口,为金融系统中韧性、可适应的AI治理提供可行路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generative and agentic artificial intelligence is entering financial markets faster than existing governance can adapt. Current model-risk frameworks assume static, well-specified algorithms and one-time validations; large language models and multi-agent trading systems violate those assumptions by learning continuously, exchanging latent signals, and exhibiting emergent behavior. Drawing on complex adaptive systems theory, we model these technologies as decentralized ensembles whose risks propagate along multiple time-scales. We then propose a modular governance architecture. The framework decomposes oversight into four layers of "regulatory blocks": (i) self-regulation modules embedded beside each model, (ii) firm-level governance blocks that aggregate local telemetry and enforce policy, (iii) regulator-hosted agents that monitor sector-wide indicators for collusive or destabilizing patterns, and (iv) independent audit blocks that supply third-party assurance. Eight design strategies enable the blocks to evolve as fast as the models they police. A case study on emergent spoofing in multi-agent trading shows how the layered controls quarantine harmful behavior in real time while preserving innovation. The architecture remains compatible with today's model-risk rules yet closes critical observability and control gaps, providing a practical path toward resilient, adaptive AI governance in financial systems.
