FINRA Warns Firms Over Generative AI Risks
FINRA reported in its Annual Regulatory Oversight Report that member firms’ use of generative AI, including large language models, is outpacing the controls, documentation and supervisory frameworks needed to manage associated risks. Examinations found uneven governance, limited model visibility, inadequate vendor due diligence, and gaps in data handling and human review. The findings signal heightened compliance and cybersecurity exposure for financial firms requiring stronger governance, oversight, and vendor monitoring.
