UK Finance response to joint discussion paper on AI from the Bank of England and Financial Conduct Authority

This discussion paper explored how the BoE and FCA can support the safe and responsible adoption of AI in financial services, including through their approach to policy and regulation.

We support the continuation of a principles-based and outcomes-focused approach. We do not support the creation of an ‘AI overlay’, as this risks causing duplication and unnecessary complexity. But we do recognise that targeted guidance on issues relating to specific model types of AI use cases could be necessary over time. Where risks or issues are common across different sectors, we support coordination with other regulatory authorities to avoid duplication or conflicting expectations.
