Financial services & AI governance
Does the FCA regulate our use of AI?
The FCA expects firms to govern AI through existing frameworks - senior-manager accountability, Consumer Duty outcomes and operational resilience. Keel watches those sources and tells you whether this week’s changes affect you.
Are automated credit or affordability decisions higher risk?
Yes - solely-automated decisions about individuals carry the strongest duties under UK GDPR, and the FCA expects clear oversight. When related guidance moves, Keel explains what it means for your role - it does not score or register your models.
Can the board use this instead of a register?
No. Keel is a weekly briefing for the person accountable, not an AI inventory or board pack. It is there so that person is not the last to hear about a change.
Is this legal advice?
No. Keel informs and reassures; it is not legal advice.
