Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey emphasized AI's crucial role in financial supervision, calling it an asset for detecting regulatory "smoking guns" in complex investigations. AI analytics enhance oversight efficiency for both traditional finance and digital assets, helping detect anomalies that might otherwise escape notice. Regulators are investing in these technologies to track market abuse and suspicious transactions more effectively than manual monitoring. While boosting regulatory capabilities, AI also introduces cybersecurity challenges, with recent surveys ranking cyber threats among top financial sector risks. The Bank of England is participating in global initiatives to standardize safe AI adoption in financial markets, positioning the UK at the forefront of AI-powered financial regulation.
