According to CNBC, Andrew Bailey, Governor of the Bank of England and Chairman of the Financial Stability Board (FSB), wrote to G20 finance ministers and central bank governors on August 31 to warn that frontier AI models are exhibiting increasingly sophisticated autonomy and threat capabilities, which could fundamentally alter the speed, scale, and economics of cyberattacks, potentially triggering disorderly adjustments across global financial markets.
Bailey noted that highly concentrated third-party service providers will become critical nodes of systemic risk, emphasizing that most countries currently lack regulatory frameworks for the development and deployment of frontier AI. He also flagged vulnerabilities in sovereign debt markets, the growing trend of leverage in equity markets, and the overvaluation of AI-related assets, urging governments to accelerate the refinement of relevant safety mechanisms.
