AI governance in banking requires explainability, board accountability, rigorous testing, vendor controls and meaningful human oversight for customer-facing decisions.
AI adoption in banking should be governed through a principles-based and proportionate framework that aligns innovation with financial stability, customer protection and accountability. Banks should maintain inventories of AI systems, adopt board-approved governance policies, ensure explainability for material lending and fraud decisions, conduct periodic red-teaming and stress testing, and preserve meaningful human oversight. Key risks include opacity, bias, vendor concentration, third-party dependence, data misuse, cyber vulnerability and loss of institutional accountability. Vendor arrangements require audit and explanation rights and credible exit plans.
