This December was an interesting one. documentPrepared by the bipartisan Congressional Working Group on Artificial Intelligence (AI). It provides strategic guidance for the regulation and implementation of AI in various sectors. The main ideas of the report can be divided into several key areas:

1. Sector-based approach to regulation The working group recommends avoiding universal regulatory measures. Instead, it is proposed to develop regulations for specific industries such as education, health, agriculture and financial services. The regulation should aim to prevent risks and minimize harm, while maintaining the U.S.’s AI innovation capabilities1. 2. Regulatory principles The report identifies seven key principles: Consider the novelty of problems associated with AI.

  • Promoting innovation.
  • Risk and harm protection. Strengthening state capabilities through AI.
  • Application of a sectoral approach to regulation. An incremental approach to policy development. Keeping humans at the center of AI policy discussions. 3. Supporting innovation and trust The document highlights the need to create an enabling regulatory environment for the private sector to spur U.S. investment and leadership in AI. In the process of developing the report, the views of representatives of leading companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic were taken into account. 4. Recommendations on specific issues The working group proposes solutions for the following areas: Data protection and digital identification. Copyright for content created by AI. Training of personnel for work with AI and adaptation of educational programs to the changing requirements of the labor market14. 5. Incremental approach Instead of adopting a single law, it is proposed to divide tasks into small stages, which will allow flexible adaptation to changes in technologies and the context of their application.

It was interesting to read more carefully the part about Financial Services, which is located at the very end of the report and where the following insights and recommendations are given.

Key findings

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) It provides an opportunity to transform the financial services sector. Data quality and security are paramount to AI models in financial services. AI can increase access to financial products and services. AI technologies are already being used in the financial services sector. Some regulators are using AI to identify inconsistencies with legal requirements. Small financial services companies may be at a disadvantage when implementing AI. Recommendations Create an environment that allows financial services companies to responsibly take advantage of AI technologies. Encourage and resource regulators to enhance their AI competencies. Maintain consumer and investor protection when using AI in the financial services and housing sectors. Consider using “regulatory sandboxes” to allow regulators to experiment with AI. Support a principled approach to regulation that can adapt to rapid technological change. Ensure that regulation does not prevent small companies from using AI tools.
