What happened
Singapore's Monetary Authority (MAS) set a clearer regulatory line on artificial intelligence use in financial services. Its enforceable AIRG guidelines now bind banks, insurers and asset managers, who must govern AI risk at board level and maintain an AI inventory. Firms remain fully accountable for AI supplied by third-party vendors.
Why it matters
Financial institutions cannot shift AI risk onto third-party vendors, because they stay fully accountable for that AI.
