The financial services industry (FSI) is using AI to transform how financial institutions serve their customers. AI solutions can help proactively manage portfolios, automatically refinance mortgages when rates decrease, and negotiate insurance premiums for customers.

However, this adoption brings new governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) considerations that organizations need to address. To help FSI customers navigate these challenges, AWS is excited to announce an updated AWS User Guide to Governance, Risk, and Compliance for Responsible AI Adoption within Financial Services Industries.

This comprehensive guide provides FSI customers practical considerations for responsible AI adoption across key dimensions including governance, risk management, compliance, data management, model management and AI agent management. It includes detailed AWS service capabilities that customers can use to address these considerations, such as Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, Amazon Bedrock Agents, Amazon SageMaker Autopilot, and Amazon SageMaker Model Monitor.

The guide is available at the AWS Whitepaper portal and is complementary to other AWS resources such as the AWS Responsible Use of AI Guide, AWS Cloud Adoption Framework for AI, AWS Well-Architected Framework – Responsible AI Lens, AWS Well-Architected Framework – Generative AI Lens, and AWS Well-Architected Framework – Machine Learning Lens.

As the regulatory environment and leading practices continue to evolve, we will provide further updates on the AWS Security Blog and AWS Compliance Center. You can also reach out to your AWS account team for help finding the resources you need.
