ECB Warns of Governance Risks in Banking AI Adoption
The ECB has highlighted that while AI technology offers efficiency, its governance within the banking sector is a critical area for supervision. Pedro Machado, a member of the Supervisory Board, emphasized that banks must maintain robust internal controls to manage AI-driven credit decisions.

This approach aims to maintain the resilience of the European financial system during its ongoing digital transition.
