What to Expect:
- EU's AI Act Drives Compliance Costs: The rollout of the EU's AI Act will significantly impact financial institutions, demanding rigorous AI system assessments. This new regulatory landscape will likely increase compliance costs and require strategic adjustments in technology use.
- UK Fosters FinTech Innovation: The UK's less stringent principles-based approach to AI regulation focused on safety, transparency, fairness, and accountability could make it an attractive destination for FinTech firms. This could prompt a surge in AI-driven financial products and services, balancing regulatory compliance with technological advancement.
- US Embraces Flexible AI Use in Finance: The US's decentralised approach to AI regulation, emphasizing safety and responsible innovation, suggests a more flexible regulatory environment. This could lead to diversified and innovative AI applications in the US financial sector, potentially influencing global financial markets.
