Unidentified speaker urges balanced oversight as U.S. leads in AI-driven banking

An unidentified speaker told a meeting that American technological innovation has made the United States a global leader in artificial intelligence and urged a regulatory approach that protects consumers while allowing innovation to continue.

"American technological innovation is unparalleled in its ingenuity and ability to advance prosperity," the Unidentified Speaker said, adding, "This has made The United States a global leader in AI innovation." The speaker said new technologies must be "fit for purpose" and stressed that "the innovative banking products, services, and business arrangements arising from the adoption of new and emerging technologies are responsible and trustworthy."
