IOSCO Releases Report on AI in Capital Markets

The International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) published a report on artificial intelligence (AI) in capital markets.

 

The report explores the risks, use cases, and challenges associated with AI.

Key findings include:

➡️ Firms are increasingly using AI systems to enhance compliance and surveillance particularly in AML/CTF measures;

➡️ Recent advancements in AI are making firms consider how to leverage its benefits for internal processes and risk management;

➡️ Commonly cited risks include malicious use, model and data considerations, third-party dependencies, and interactions between humans and AI;

➡️ Some firms are integrating AI into existing governance frameworks while others are creating bespoke structures; and

➡️ Regulators are similarly divided with some integrating AI into current regulatory frameworks while others are developing a unique approach.

✅ Firms should review AI governance structures, ensuring they are robust while fully leveraging the benefits of AI.
