Shadow AI in banking: the compliance gap no policy can close
Employees at banks and financial services firms are using unapproved generative AI tools on customer data at scale. May 2026 incident at CB Financial exposed the practice. Regulators and risk officers acknowledge traditional policy enforcement alone cannot prevent it.
WHY IT MATTERS
Systemic risk: unauthorized AI processing of customer PII, account data, and transaction details creates liability, regulatory exposure, and model drift. Forces BFSI to invest in detection and monitoring rather than blocking.
