The Financial Stability Board opened a consultation on Sound Practices for Responsible Adoption of Artificial Intelligence on 10 June 2026. The consultation remains open until 22 July 2026. The report is non-binding policy guidance, not a final standard.

The controlling authority is the FSB consultation report. It asks respondents whether the proposed practices give financial institutions actionable controls for responsible AI adoption and whether the glossary matches industry practice.

Banks, insurers, asset managers, payment firms, and market infrastructure operators should map AI use to governance, model risk, data quality, vendor oversight, cyber resilience, and explainability controls. Supervisors may use the final practices when testing risk management around deployed AI systems.

The consultation does not create direct licensing, capital, conduct, or disclosure duties. Firms should still check local rules where AI tools affect credit, trading, insurance pricing, financial promotion, complaints, outsourcing, or operational resilience.

Licentium may advise on AI governance in regulated financial services or work through partner counsel where local filings are needed. Please contact us to discuss implementation. Work we undertake includes AI governance, financial-services compliance, outsourcing review, model-risk controls, and regulatory gap analysis.
