RBI Proposes AI Model Risk Framework and Cybersecurity Measures for Banks
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed a comprehensive draft framework mandating banks and regulated entities to implement robust model risk management systems for AI and machine learning models. Key requirements include board-approved oversight, human supervision, and 'kill switches' to immediately deactivate AI models if errors occur. Banks must disclose AI use to customers and manage risks from third-party providers. Concurrently, Indian banks are enhancing cybersecurity with strategies focusing on code protection, AI-driven threat detection, and zero-trust architecture to counter advanced AI-driven cyber threats, following RBI's directives for risk assessments and action plans.
