Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Shaktikanta Das, said that emerging economies require strengthened risk management frameworks as artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of banking operations. He reminded the assembly that AI, being an enormous innovation opportunity and great efficiency engine, brings with it new vulnerabilities, particularly in the field of cybersecurity and data privacy. Das urged the banks and financial institutions to take proactive steps in bolstering their risk buffers to ward off future shocks. As lending, fraud detection and customer services adoption accelerates in emerging markets, there is a need for developing robust regulatory oversight and resilience mechanisms to ensure stability and long-term growth in the financial sector.
The RBI governor warns of over-reliance on AI in banking, citing the risks
RBI governor Shaktikanta Das has expressed himself worried by the alarming rise of reliance on AI in the banking industry as well. He said, "There are risks in becoming too dependent. While AI can greatly boost efficiency, too much reliance might build concentration risks, particularly if key systems are controlled by too few technology providers.". Such dependency may bring the bank to operational failure, cybersecurity risk, or service interruptions. According to Das, banks must increase the use of technology with prudence while availing AI benefits in order to diversify the tools and must have a support system as well. His message shows that he is being cautious because transformation is taking a big leap into financial currents from Artificial Intelligence, especially in emerging economies.
AI Offers Unmatched Flexibility, Needs Tighter Regulation, Says Scindia
India's civil aviation minister, Jyotiraditya Scindia ruled out that while AI boasts a level of agility and innovation no other technology has ever achieved, its use must be accompanied by a full-fledged regulatory framework. Speaking at an event recently, Scindia pointed out the prospect of AI revolutionizing the areas of aviation, finance, and many more in terms of efficiency, decision-making, and user experience. But he warned that AI also brings new risks, unless such advances are properly overseen, like data privacy concerns, cybersecurity threats, and ethical challenges. He has called for cooperation from the bodies of the government, industry, and tech companies in developing regulations that shall ensure safe and responsible use of AI as much as ensuring innovation in transparency and security.
New Frontier: Unlocking the Big Four's AI journey
The so-called "Big Four" of Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG are, currently, transforming their service offerings and operational models through the use of AI. As these firms rely on AI support, they are able to automate much of the mundane data analysis, audit processes, and compliance work, thus freeing professionals to focus on much more important work, including strategic consulting. With AI, the Big Four can process such big amounts of data quickly and accurately which would bring forth bigger insights for their clients. This AI odyssey comes with challenges, however, as it implies that more people must address issues around the protection of data, transparency in the decision-making process, and avoiding overdependence on technology. As they lead this change, the Big Four are now walking in the already new frontier of innovation under responsibility.
Government advises users of Gmail that they risk being attacked by AI-powered cyberattack.
Gmail users are increasingly being threatened by AI-powered cyberattacks as hackers utilize new artificial intelligence tools to come up with more sophisticated and thus potentially convincing phishing attempts. These AI-based attacks create personalized emails that can closely resemble legitimate communication, making them highly challenging to identify through red flags by the recipients. Attackers can also automate large-scale phishing campaigns to reach specific individuals or organizations. The threat can expose personal data or credentials once a spammy link is clicked or its malicious attachments are downloaded. Experts are telling the Gmail users to be watchful, cross-check the authenticity of emails, and activate two-factor authentication as well. The more advanced AI technology becomes, the more sophisticated hackers will be with their cyberattacks, and hence, new challenges will arise in the cybersecurity environment.
