Regulatory Readiness Under Pressure as Banks Accelerate AI Adoption
Artificial intelligence is spreading through banks faster than regulators can keep pace, with adoption rates more than double those of supervisory bodies. A Cambridge Centre study of 350 banks, fintechs, AI vendors and 130 regulators across 151 countries found only 24% of authorities actively collect AI usage data, and 43% have no monitoring plans for the next two years. The report highlights systemic risks, especially the heavy reliance on a few AI providers—OpenAI, Google and Anthropic—creating concentration and third‑party vulnerabilities. Regulators now face the urgent challenge of governing a rapidly‑digitized, technology‑dependent financial ecosystem.
