OSTP Establishes AI User Rights, Privacy Protections
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) has released a little-noticed AI “Bill of Rights” that establishes AI user rights and data privacy principles. Although nonbinding, this framework now sets policy that individual agencies are likely to follow even if they are nominally independent, as is the case with the FRB, OCC, and FDIC. The CFPB is no longer independent and is in any case already committed to like-kind principles; the banking agencies so far have only issued an RFI (see FSM Report AI).
OCC Tightens Fintech, Payment, Crypto Supervisory Screws
The OCC today released its Bank Supervision Operating Plan for FY2023, highlighting the Office’s supervisory issues based in part on policy considerations. The agency is prioritizing cybersecurity; third-party service providers with a particular focus on fintechs; consumer-protection and AML compliance; new product risk, such as payment systems technology and digital assets; and climate risks.
