In her remarks, Michelle W. Bowman, Chair of the FSB Standing Committee on Supervisory and Regulatory Cooperation (SRC), discusses the FSB’s Consultation Report on the Sound Practices for Responsible Adoption of Artificial Intelligence.
The FSB used this speech to signal that its consultation report on sound practices for responsible AI adoption is meant to guide, not hard-code, how financial institutions govern AI use. For compliance teams, the key message is that the draft framework is risk-based and proportional, with lighter-touch expectations for lower-risk uses and greater scrutiny where AI is material to business operations or legal and regulatory obligations.
This publication does not impose new binding rules; it is an opening remark supporting the FSB’s June 2026 consultation report on Sound Practices for Responsible Adoption of Artificial Intelligence. The speaker says the report is intended to be finalized later in 2026 as a U.S. G20 deliverable, and that feedback from the public comment process will shape the final text.
The current publication is consultative and non-binding, so immediate legal impact is limited. The practical consequence is preparatory pressure: firms that use AI should expect a future FSB final report to reinforce risk-based governance, proportionality, and stronger controls for materially important AI deployments.
