Bank For International Settlements

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is an international financial institution that serves as a bank for central banks and promotes monetary and financial stability across countries. In the AI governance context, the BIS has begun developing frameworks and guidance for managing risks posed by artificial intelligence in financial systems, including guidance on AI model governance, bias detection, and systemic risk assessment. Its work matters for enterprise AI governance because financial institutions globally look to BIS standards and recommendations when implementing AI controls, making BIS guidance influential in shaping regulatory expectations around AI transparency, testing, and accountability in banking and insurance sectors.

AI Use in Policy and Regulation Examined in BIS Report Submitted to G20 Finance Ministers

The Bank for International Settlements published a report on October 10, 2025 examining the use of artificial intelligence for policy purposes and submitted it to G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors. The report reflects growing international coordination among central banks and financial regulators on how AI tools should be applied within policy and regulatory functions. While the report does not create binding obligations, its submission to the G20 signals that AI governance in financial contexts is receiving attention at the highest levels of multilateral economic coordination. For enterprise compliance teams operating across G20 jurisdictions, the report may foreshadow future supervisory expectations or guidance from central banks and financial regulators regarding AI use in policy-relevant processes. Financial institutions should monitor how member jurisdictions translate BIS guidance into domestic supervisory frameworks and risk management expectations.
