THE FRONTIERS OF NEW RISKS: AI, DIGITAL AND SUSTAINABILITY TRANSITIONS
GRETA Associati (Venice, Italy), CRIF (Bologna, Italy), European Datawarehouse (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), European Investment Fund (Luxembourg), Intesa Sanpaolo (Milan, Italy) and Modefinance (Trieste, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on October 3-4, 2024.
The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2024 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research.
The conference, organised under the auspices of the Department of Economics and VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice), ABI - Italian Banking Association, AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria and AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers, is the twenty-third of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk.

Sustainability necessarily involves the adaptation of today’s business model to the dynamic nature of the current digitalised environments. Corporations need to make sure that resources, especially technology, are being used responsibly and efficiently to improve the lives of the present generations and future generations as well as strengthen their relationships with the environment as to solve sustainability-related problems such as poverty, environmental degradation, pollution and inequality.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to address these societal problems including sustainability. The climate crisis and the degradation of the physical environment are complex problems that require the most innovative and advanced solutions. The real value of AI hence lies in its ability to facilitate and foster environmental and social governance, rather just as a tool to reduce pollution, poverty and resource depletion.
In the age of AI, societies depend on big data, social media, knowledge management and data science to survive and achieve these sustainability goals. AI has the potential to reshape not only finance and industry but also the whole society. There is need to understand opportunities and challenges as to properly manage all relevant risks.
The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include Marie Briere (Amundi Investment Institute, Paris), Marcin Kacperczyk (Imperial College London), and Roberto Rigobon (MIT Sloan School of Management, Cambridge). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers.
CALL FOR PAPERS
The organisers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference, with attention to the use of AI to assess the sustainability impact of finance (i.e. exploiting AI techniques or Big Data to bridge primary information gaps and proxy the sustainability impact) and on how climate and digital risks may interact (i.e. climate denial, social media and social media strategies including deepfakes).
Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by June 10, 2024 to the address given below (preferably in electronic format).
Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by July 10, 2024.
The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 2024.

Palazzo Franchetti
The conference will be held at Palazzo Franchetti, an imposing Venetian neo-Gothic building in the heart of Venice overlooking the Grand Canal. Along the centuries, the Palace was the residence of celebrated Venetian families who undertook major modernization work that gave the building the modern features that are one of its peculiarities.
Sala del Portego – conference hall
In 1878 Baron Raimondo Franchetti bought the building, which was to remain property of the family until September 1922 when it was sold to Istituto Federale di Credito per il Risorgimento delle Venezie by the Baron's widow, Sarah Luisa de Rothschild. The period is associated with the name of architect Camillo Boito, who altered the building significantly, designing the monumental staircase. Characterized by large 5-light mullioned window with interlacing arches and tracery, the palace has been one of the venues of the prestigious Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere e Arti since 1999.
The monumental staircase
Located at the foot of the Accademia Bridge in Campo S. Stefano, the venue can easily be reached from Piazzale Roma or from the Railway Station by public transport (lines 1 or 2 - about 20/30 min) or by private water taxi (about 10 minutes). Palazzo Franchetti is also within walking distance from the main access points to the city (about 30 minutes).

The Networking dinner will be held at Palazzo Pisani Moretta on Thursday, October 3rd.
Built in the second half of the XV century by will of the Pisani family, Palazzo Pisani Moretta is one of the most fascinating examples of flamboyant Gothic style in the city. Overlooking the Grand Canal between the Rialto Bridge and Ca' Foscari, it is one of the most famous and magnificently decorated Palazzo, and among its famous visitors it includes Tsar Paul of Russia, Josephine Bonaparte and Joseph II of Austria.
