The Central Bank of San Marino published an update on its participation in the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Constituency, held in Lisbon on July 6 and 7, where delegates from Albania, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal and San Marino discussed artificial intelligence and its effects on their economies and financial systems. The discussion focused in particular on the implications for central banks and supervisory authorities, and the San Marino central bank used the meeting to present its own approach to implementing AI. In that context, Director General Andrea Vivoli outlined the bank’s governance strategy for AI, including guidelines for responsible use, and described ongoing projects to develop support applications for managing the complexity of upcoming European Union regulations and advanced digital assistants to improve productivity and efficiency in institutional work. The meeting also heard the International Monetary Fund’s approach to AI across both country surveillance support and its own internal adoption, alongside its multilateral cooperation initiatives, including the Community of Practice that the Central Bank of San Marino joined at the end of 2025. Vivoli also stressed that human capital and training are necessary for the effective and safe use of AI and for mitigating related risks.
