Workshop: Supervisors on Supervision

This workshop will explore “Supervisors on Supervision,” Starling’s latest Deeper Dive report. The study represents a unique global stocktake, drawing on perspectives from senior figures across jurisdictions, and asks: is culture rightly viewed as a matter for supervisors, what consequences follow from the current status quo, what efforts have been made to confront these challenges, and what future direction does this suggest?

The report finds that supervisors view culture not as a peripheral concern, but as an upstream condition of prudential resilience and supervisory legitimacy. It highlights the risks of definitional drift, fragmented approaches, perceptions of supervisory over-reach — as well as supervisory timidity, somewhat paradoxically — and it underscores the need for structured discretion, shared vocabulary, and coherent frameworks. The report discusses how supervisory technologies and innovative methods can provide more consistent and evidence-based approaches to culture risk governance and supervision. And it emphasizes the role of supervisory culture in encouraging innovation and the adoption of new tools.
The workshop will provide space to engage these findings, debate future directions, and consider how to move culture risk governance and supervision from conviction to convergence.

Review The Key Takeaways

  • The session highlighted the continued global expansion of suptech adoption, with emerging markets rapidly closing the gap with advanced economies. Financial authorities are diversifying their suptech applications, moving beyond traditional areas to address emerging risks like cyber threats and climate change.
  • While there is increasing experimentation with advanced technologies, particularly AI and GenAI, challenges such as data protection, privacy, and governance remain significant. Strategic planning is a key enabler for suptech success, although persistent obstacles include limited technical expertise, data access coordination, and budget limitations.
  • The session also noted the versatile approach of financial authorities, who blend in-house development with external vendors, while identifying the need to embrace more innovative approaches for experimentation, like tech sprints and innovation hubs.

Review The Key Takeaways

  • The session stressed that AI should be viewed as a tool that augments human intelligence, not replaces it, and that data governance is a critical component of its responsible application. MinervaTantoco highlighted the human element of AI, presenting a framework of five components—data, design, development, deployment, and decisions—to ensure ethical use and protect human rights.
  • Jermy Premio added to this by focusing on the transformational potential of Al in financial supervision, as well as emphasizing the need for intentionality in the design and application of these technologies.
  • Both speakers underscored the importance of Al literacy for all stakeholders so that users understand how Al works and when to use it, along with the need to create systems that are not only powerful but also responsible, respectful of human rights, and that maintain trust. The session also emphasized the importance of cultural and mindset shifts to allow Al to contribute to the quality of supervision.

Access the Recording

Review The Key Takeaways

  • The session highlighted the diverse ways that financial supervisors are using Al to enhance their work, with many presentations focusing on classical machine learning techniques in addition to generative Al. Abhishek Chaudhary from the Reserve Bank of India described a tool that automates the analysis of supervisory returns using machine learning to identify potential risks, as well as presented a tool that uses machine learning to categorize the discussions in meeting minutes according to risk categories, based on Basel guidelines.
  • Vincent Lee from Bank Negara Malaysia shared two tools that use natural language processing to detect suspicious activity in the non-bank Money Service Provider sector and to integrate data with other authorities for more insights. Thomas Ritola from the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority presented a generative Al system that summarizes board meeting minutes and provides key insights to supervisors.
  • Diana Zaig from the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada, showcased a retrieval augmented generation chatbot that helps supervisors find answers in the large amount of unstructured, text-heavy documents they receive from regulated entities. Skunpoj Thanarojsophon from the Bank of Thailand demonstrated a system that uses generative Al to connect with their data lake of financial contracts and loan data, analyzing the information to determine eligibility for debt relief measures.
  • The session emphasized that many effective Al solutions for supervision rely on classical machine learning, and that human feedback is a key element to enhance the targeting and performance of these models.

Access the Recording

Review The Key Takeaways

  • The session highlighted the critical need for ethical frameworks and robust governance when using Al in financial supervision, emphasizing that while Al offers benefits such as data-driven decisions and improved risk detection, it also presents challenges regarding transparency, explainability, and potential biases.
  • Key discussion points included the EU AI Act as a significant step in regulating Al with a risk-based approach and the need for global regulatory collaboration even if approaches are diverse, as well as the importance of balancing innovation with ethical safeguards to avoid over-reliance on automated outputs.
  • The session underscored that embedding Al ethics principles into supervisory practices is essential to foster trust and responsible innovation while emphasizing the necessity of strong Al and data governance practices.
Close
Access the Recording

Review The Key Takeaways

  • The session emphasized a holistic and pragmatic approach to Al adoption, highlighting the importance of focused use cases, strong data and talent resources, and cross-sector collaboration. Dr. Sertaç Son from the European Central Bank (ECB) highlighted how public sector organizations can influence Al adoption by developing focused use cases and talent pipelines, also noting the value of a recent report from the European Commission Joint Research Centre.
  • He emphasized that Al should be part of an overall digital strategy rather than a separate Al strategy. Alyson Tellone from Microsoft Azure, advocated for hybrid cloud solutions for secure and scalable Al adoption. Matt Lowe from the FCA UK, presented regulatory sandboxes and tech sprints as collaborative environments for testing innovative solutions, emphasizing that Al readiness requires an organizational shift where failure is safe and learning is fast.
  • The session concluded that by prioritizing ethics and user adoption, financial authorities can leverage Al to foster innovation and improve trust in regulatory processes.
