The impact of AI in financial services will gain a renewed focus on Capitol Hill.
There has been an AI task force on the House Financial Services Committee for some time but we learned late last week that a new bipartisan working group on AI has been formed.
This new working group will look at how AI is affecting the development of new products and services, fraud prevention, compliance efficiency and the enhancement of supervisory and regulatory tools. It will also look at how AI may impact the financial services workforce.
The working group will officially be part of the Digital Assets, Financial Technology and Inclusion subcommittee and will have 12 members.
AI is going to impact most areas of finance so it is good that legislators recognize the importance of being up to speed here. The government is not known for moving fast and will face an uphill battle to get ahead of this incredibly fast-moving space.
