Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the largest differentiators and efficiency tools available for financial institutions, but it also comes with inherent risks that can leave your institution and account holders in a vulnerable position.
AI systems can greatly enhance financial institutions’ operations, but they introduce new and significant risks. Employees may misuse AI, risking exposure of sensitive data or spreading bias. In response, lawmakers and regulators are establishing and placing strict safeguards on the use of AI solutions, which in turn causes institutions to delay AI adoption and integration, leading to missed cost savings and efficiencies.

Whether you have some existing policy in place or are just getting started, having a robust AI policy is critical for your institution to stay compliant and relevant in the ever-changing AI landscape. We start with a policy framework and support you in customizing an AI policy that fits the short and long-term needs of your financial institution.
As regulations emerge related to using AI in financial services, how your vendors use AI in their day-to-day can impact your compliance. With thousands of AI applications out there, and more popping up every day, do you know how your existing vendors are using AI tools that may expose your data? SRM’s Vendor AI Audit service identifies which vendors use AI solutions and what safeguards are (or aren’t) in place for your security and compliance.
With thousands of new AI-powered tools and technologies emerging, it can be difficult to identify the best fit for your institution. SRM’s AI Opportunity Assessment helps you identify the right technologies to boost bottom line revenue and advance the capabilities important to your institution. The assessment covers areas such as:
· Operational efficiency and productivity
· Conversational AI integration
· Fraud loss mitigation
· Marketing effectiveness and ROI enhancement
