The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued a supervisory framework to guide examiners assessing banks' use of artificial intelligence, focusing on safety, soundness, and innovation without imposing enforceable standards. The framework is technology neutral and emphasizes integrating AI risk considerations into existing governance and risk management practices rather than treating AI as a separate risk category.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
The OCC's framework shifts AI scrutiny from standalone risk to an integrated part of bank governance, forcing you to adjust compliance and risk tools to include AI without expecting new risk categories. This opens opportunities to help banks embed AI oversight smoothly into existing controls.
