What's happening

The FCA's Mills Review frames AI as an active part of the financial system and asks whether existing rules still fit that reality. Across industry coverage, firms report rapid adoption of generative and public LLMs by analysts and finance teams, creating 'shadow AI' risks in sensitive spreadsheets and workflows. Providers and banks warn the core operational problem is poor data and messy workflows, not a lack of AI tools, and regulators and RegTech vendors are urging firms to reassess market abuse controls, information barriers and compliance frameworks for agentic and generative AI. Executives from Bank of America, Billtrust and RegTech firms emphasize that fixing data and workflows must come before or alongside AI deployment to manage compliance and preserve trust.

Why it's trending

Because firms are already using public LLMs and generative AI in sensitive finance roles, regulators and vendors are racing to decide if current controls and rules still work.
