The Financial Stability Board wants financial firms to think harder about how they use artificial intelligence. On Wednesday, the global policy group released a consultation paper with 12 proposed practices for AI governance, risk management, and oversight of third-party providers.
The FSB identified several categories of financial stability risk tied to AI. One is the growing reliance on external service providers that build or host models. Another is increased market correlation – if many firms use similar AI tools, they could amplify moves in the same direction. Cybersecurity threats, model risk, and data quality issues also made the list. Consumer protection risks got their own section: unfair treatment, mis-selling, unsuitable recommendations, and the challenge of supervising AI-driven processes.
The paper itself frames the stakes plainly. “Managing these risks well will promote sustained value creation by financial institutions through AI adoption,” it said. “It will also help minimize risks to financial stability as AI adoption scales through the financial sector.”
The proposed practices cover firm-wide AI governance, risk mitigation during development and deployment, and cyber, technology, and third-party risks. The FSB stressed that the document is not a new standard. It does not prescribe how firms should adopt AI. Instead, it is meant to guide senior management and boards “as they consider business strategy, technology adoption, and risk management in an increasingly AI-enabled environment.” The paper also aims to foster coordination and information-sharing across jurisdictions.
Ho Hern Shin, deputy managing director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore and lead of the FSB workstream on AI, said in a release that the practices are “designed to help financial institutions navigate their AI adoption responsibly in a rapidly changing technology landscape.” The FSB will take comments on the report through July 22 and plans to issue a final version in October.
For traders and investors, the consultation is worth tracking even though it carries no immediate rule changes. The FSB's framing signals where global regulators are looking: model concentration, vendor lock-in, and the risk that AI tools produce correlated outcomes across markets. Firms that lean heavily on third-party AI vendors or deploy models without strong governance may face more scrutiny as the final report lands. The October deadline gives the industry a window to shape the guidelines – and a heads-up on what supervisors will expect next.
