Generative AI

- Abstract summary: We develop and validate firm-level measures of risk exposure to political, climate, and AI-related risks.
Using the GPT 3.5 model to generate risk summaries and assessments, we show that GPT-based measures possess significant information content.
We also find that generative AI is effective at detecting emerging risks, such as AI risk, which has soared in recent quarters.

- Abstract: We explore the value of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, in helping
investors uncover dimensions of corporate risk. We develop and validate
firm-level measures of risk exposure to political, climate, and AI-related
risks. Using the GPT 3.5 model to generate risk summaries and assessments from
the context provided by earnings call transcripts, we show that GPT-based
measures possess significant information content and outperform the existing
risk measures in predicting (abnormal) firm-level volatility and firms' choices
such as investment and innovation. Importantly, information in risk assessments
dominates that in risk summaries, establishing the value of general AI
knowledge. We also find that generative AI is effective at detecting emerging
risks, such as AI risk, which has soared in recent quarters. Our measures
perform well both within and outside the GPT's training window and are priced
in equity markets. Taken together, an AI-based approach to risk measurement
provides useful insights to users of corporate disclosures at a low cost.

We identify 314 unique risk categories organized into a four-tiered taxonomy.
At the highest level, this taxonomy encompasses System & Operational Risks, Content Safety Risks, Societal Risks, and Legal & Rights Risks.
We aim to advance AI safety through information sharing across sectors and the promotion of best practices in risk mitigation for generative AI models and systems.

Applications of Generative AI (Gen AI) are expected to revolutionize a number of different areas, ranging from science & medicine to education.
The potential for these seismic changes has triggered a lively debate about the potential risks of the technology, and resulted in calls for tighter regulation.
This regulation is likely to put at risk the budding field of open-source generative AI.

This paper explores risks emanating from downstream uses of large language models (LLMs)
We introduce a novel LLM-based risk assessment engine (GUARD-D-LLM) designed to pinpoint and rank threats relevant to specific use cases derived from text-based user inputs.
Integrating thirty intelligent agents, this innovative approach identifies bespoke risks, gauges their severity, offers targeted suggestions for mitigation, and facilitates risk-aware development.

We propose C-RAG, the first framework to certify generation risks for RAG models.
Specifically, we provide conformal risk analysis for RAG models and certify an upper confidence bound of generation risks.
We prove that RAG achieves a lower conformal generation risk than that of a single LLM when the quality of the retrieval model and transformer is non-trivial.

We demonstrate improved risk aversion in maze navigation, autonomous driving, and resource allocation benchmarks.

We show that a new off-policy deterministic actor-critic deep reinforcement learning algorithm can identify high quality time consistent hedging policies for options.
Our numerical experiments, which involve both a simple vanilla option and a more exotic basket option, confirm that the new algorithm can produce 1) in simple environments, nearly optimal hedging policies, and highly accurate prices, simultaneously for a range of maturities.
Overall, hedging strategies that actually outperform the strategies produced using static risk measures when the risk is evaluated at later points of time.
