This reflects a growing regulatory focus on AI's enterprise-level security implications, indicating that compliance burdens and investment in AI-specific cybersecurity will become standard operating procedure for regulated industries.
Banks are now explicitly directed by a major central bank to allocate more capital and resources towards securing their AI systems, shifting AI adoption from a pure innovation play to a risk management priority.
