Andrew Bailey, chair of the Financial Stability Board and governor of the Bank of England, wrote to G20 finance ministers and central bank governors ahead of their Asheville meeting that frontier AI models pose risks to the financial system. Cyber risk is the main near-term concern, as the models become more autonomous and capable. He added that rising borrowing in equity markets, high and concentrated valuations and AI optimism could magnify a market correction, and that asset prices look stretched, particularly for AI-related investments, alongside private credit and sovereign debt vulnerabilities. He asked jurisdictions to prioritise safe release and deployment of AI models and firms to strengthen response, recovery and third-party resilience, and said the FSB is examining what it can do within its mandate.

Why it matters

The body that coordinates financial regulators has put frontier models on its risk list, with cyber risk ahead of stretched valuations.
