The scrutiny reflects growing recognition that frontier AI may require costly cyberrecovery investments, closer attention to dependencies on external tech providers, and in some jurisdictions more formal regulatory guidance. Three top US regulators including the Federal Reserve are quizzing banks about their AI use.
