Financial Stability Board Calls for Increased Human Oversight of Agentic AI in Finance
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has issued final guidance urging banks and financial firms to increase human oversight of agentic AI, which can autonomously plan and execute tasks. The guidance highlights risks such as AI-enabled cyber attacks and calls for clear, risk-based triggers requiring human approval in higher-risk scenarios. The FSB also removed a previous recommendation to treat AI as "synthetic employees," emphasizing that AI agents may interpret goals unpredictably and do not reason like humans.
