Technology

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an umbrella term for various adaptive technologies and is not a standalone program, product or service. Banks have a decades-long history of using traditional AI for functions including fraud detection and prevention, marketing, cybersecurity, AML activity, credit underwriting and customer service. Applications for generative AI are still in the nascent phase, but banks are beginning to focus on effective risk management, governance and controls as they engage with this new technology.

Agency Guidance and Industry Resources

There is a complex web of applicable laws, regulations and supervisory guidance that is relevant to AI usage. The most important are the revised model risk management expectations issued by the Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Although the guidance as revised in April 2026 carves out generative and agentic AI, it applies to traditional AI. Moreover, the guidance makes it clear that a bank's " risk management and governance practices should guide the determination of appropriate governance and controls" even for applications not covered by the guidance.
