IMPACT OF GENERATIVE AI ON ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT – A STRATEGIC PRIMER FOR BANKING, CAPITAL MARKET, AND INSURANCE FIRMS

IMPACT OF GENERATIVE AI ON ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT – A STRATEGIC PRIMER FOR BANKING, CAPITAL MARKET, AND INSURANCE FIRMS

While the world is currently laden with escalating political, economic, social, and technological challenges peppered with considerable risks, and acknowledging we are in a golden age of AI with increasing concerns about the potentials dangers of AI and the need for regulations to protect the public from the risks and ensure safety, security, and privacy are responsibly woven into business and technology products and platforms, we posit the impact of Generative AI on Enterprise Risk Management for Financial Services Institutions (FSI) including banking, capital markets, and insurance firms. This paper strategically helps chief risk officers, senior risk executives, and boards better understand the impact of Generative AI in organizations using an Enterprise Risk Management framework, presents potential associated risks, and advocates practical steps to mitigate and manage the risks.

What is Generative AI?

Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI, GenAI)?is a powerful subset of Artificial Intelligence that can create original or imaginative content in various forms, such as text, images, videos, or other data. Unlike traditional AI models that make predictions based on supervised, unsupervised, or reinforcement learning, Generative AI models learn the patterns and structures of their input training data from large language models (LLM) that are deep neural networks trained on massive amounts of data. These models excel at natural language understanding and generation, enabling them to perform various tasks (translation, summarization, object recognition, categorization, semantic search, and orchestration) across text, speech, image, voice, and other modalities. Leading LLMs used by organizations include OpenAI , LLAMA , Hugging Face , and PaLM . Examples of consumer applications include Chatbots like ChatGPT , Microsoft Copilot , and Google Gemini , image and art generation models like DALL-E , Stable Diffusion , MidJourney and Microsoft Designer , voice generators like ElevenLabs and VALL-E , and video generators like Sora . It is important to note that Generative AI is often used and deployed in collaboration with traditional AI and ML technologies including Predictive AI.

What is Enterprise Risk Management?

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a strategic approach that organizations use to identify, assess, and manage risks across the entire enterprise. It involves systematically understanding and addressing risks that could impact an organization’s ability to achieve its objectives. ERM encompasses various risk categories, including financial, credit, market, operational, liquidity, technology, legal and regulatory, and systemic risks. Let us explore each component of ERM.

  • Financial Risk: The possibility of losing money on investments or business operations due to factors like market fluctuations, credit issues, or mismanagement.
  • Credit Risk: The risk that a borrower may default on a debt by failing to make required payments, potentially leading to financial loss for the lender.
  • Market Risk: The risk of losses in investments due to market-wide factors such as economic downturns, political instability, or changes in interest rates.
  • Liquidity Risk: The risk that an entity may not be able to quickly convert assets into cash without significant loss in value, affecting its ability to meet short-term obligations.
  • Operational Risk: The risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems, or external events impacting the day-to-day operations. Voice, image, and video impersonation facilitated by Generative AI may result in moderate to significant fraud in banking, capital market, and insurance organizations and their customers if appropriate guardrails are not put in place.
  • Technical/Technology Risk: The risk associated with failures or disruptions in technology systems, including hardware, software, and cybersecurity threats.
  • Legal and Regulatory Risk: Legal Risk refers to the risk of financial or reputational loss due to legal actions, non-compliance with laws and regulations, or contractual disputes. Regulatory risk refers to the potential for a change in laws and regulations to materially impact a security, business, sector, or market. This type of risk can arise from new laws or regulations that increase the costs of operating a business, reduce the attractiveness of an investment, or change the competitive landscape and market dynamics.
  • Systemic Risk: The risk of collapse or significant disruption in a financial system or market, potentially leading to broader economic consequences.

These definitions provide a high-level understanding of the various risks that can impact banking, capital market, and insurance companies.

What are the Potential Risks Associated with Generative AI in Capital Markets?

A leading consultancy recently published a report based on a survey of asset managers who manage over $15 trillion in total, that revealed their views on the near-term impact of generative AI (GenAI). Two out of three asset managers said they are either planning to implement or already scaling up one or more GenAI use cases this year.

Generative AI introduces opportunities for efficiency and innovation in insurance operations, but it also brings risks related to model accuracy, bias, transparency, and regulatory compliance. Striking the right balance between innovation and risk control is crucial for successful adoption.

What are the Practical Steps to Mitigate and Manage the Generative AI Risks?

  • We believe the COSO ERM Framework, first published in 2004 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and updated in 2017 , and endorsed by the AICPA-AIMA and IIA , is the best way to help organizations identify, assess, respond to, and monitor Generative AI risks in a systematic manner. The framework consists of five interrelated components:
  • Governance and Culture: Establishing the right tone at the top and fostering a risk-aware organizational culture for Generative AI.
  • Strategy and Objective-Setting: Aligning risk appetite for Generative AI with strategic goals and defining clear objectives.
  • Performance: Executing strategies while considering risk implications for banking, insurance or capital markets.
  • Review and Revision: Regularly assessing risk management processes and adjusting as needed.
  • Information, Communication, and Reporting: Ensuring effective communication about risks across the organization.

Financial Service Institutions may use the COSO ERM Framework to evaluate risks of Generative AI related to their operations, projects, and initiatives; integrate Generative AI risk management into decision-making processes; enhance Generative AI governance and accountability; and improve overall performance by addressing Generative AI risks proactively.

Call to Action

As you embrace the new realities and prepare for adoption while navigating the turbulent geopolitical and economic terrain in this new era of AI, don’t moderate your digital or innovation strategy for uncertainty’s sake. You may be asking how Generative AI will impact your company and your customers, and what it means for you, strategies to adopt, and what solutions can be enabled responsibly, swiftly, and securely. Microsoft has established a set of principles for responsible AI, which include fairness, reliability and safety, privacy and security, inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability.? Furthermore, Microsoft proposed a five-point blueprint to govern AI while the?NIST released the AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) along with companion NIST AI RMF Playbook. To discuss or learn more about how Microsoft can help you manage and mitigate the impact of Generative AI on your banking, capital market, or insurance operations and navigate with an Enterprise Risk Management lens, please comment or contact me. We shall continue to explore this topic and apply the learnings to federal agencies and other industries in upcoming posts. Stay tuned.
