The Second Symposium on the Prudent Risk Management Approach to Price Stability will take place on January 22–24, 2025. Hosted by the Central Bank of Armenia and The Better Policy Project, this hybrid event offers both in-person and virtual participation, bringing together leading experts to address critical challenges in monetary policy and artificial intelligence.

This year’s symposium highlights the FPAS Mark II framework, a revolutionary step forward in managing uncertainty and nonlinearities in monetary policy. Attendees will also be introduced to PythonDynareJulia, an advanced open-source platform that democratizes economic modeling by increasing speed and accessibility for policy analysts and researchers.

The event will feature Kush Wadhwa, a global leader in responsible artificial intelligence, discussing AI’s potential to transform central banking operations, and William White, a renowned expert in financial stability, sharing insights on the evolution of monetary policy frameworks.

Rick Bendel’s keynote will explore how AI is transforming productivity across industries, with real-world examples from digital marketing that demonstrate faster decision-making, greater efficiency, and strong data security. He will also address critical challenges, such as balancing innovation with privacy and supporting workforce development.

On January 25, the AI and Education Workshop will delve into how artificial intelligence is reshaping learning environments, empowering policymakers and institutions to adapt to a rapidly evolving world.
