G7 finance ministers and central bank governors agreed to conduct tabletop exercises simulating AI-driven cyberattacks to enhance preparedness and test existing protocols.

These simulations may involve private financial institutions and will inform updates to response manuals. The move follows IMF warnings about potential confidence impacts from AI-enabled cyberattacks on critical financial services.
