FCA to automate supervision with AI, rules out new AI rulebook

  • —FCA is automating supervision and enforcement with AI, with a human still signing off on each decision
  • —The regulator will not draft AI-specific rules, leaning on Consumer Duty and SMCR instead
  • —The first task for its agentic tool was checking firms' regulatory returns for inconsistencies
  • —Its response on frontier AI models and AI Live Testing findings are due the week of October 19
Why it matters: The FCA's model sets a precedent: AI-driven supervision without new rules could speed up licensing for crypto firms in the UK.
