We're seeking stakeholders’ views about current and future uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in UK financial services, as well as the financial services regulatory framework.
The AI Input Zone is one component of our AI Lab, helping us to support safe and responsible innovation, promote growth and competitiveness of the sector, and gain a practical understanding of AI usage in financial services.
We're keen to gather a wide range of views from different market participants to understand what transformative use cases may develop, and what we can do to support opportunities for beneficial innovation.
Following the previous Input Zone where we sought views from a broader scope of financial services firms, we are now particularly seeking input from small firms (typically defined as having less than 100 employees). We are keen to hear about their experiences in using, or considering the use of, AI.
This component of the AI Lab is part of wider evidence gathering that will help shape our future regulatory approach.
