BMA AI guidance consultation closes 30 October as regulator runs World Investor Week webinar
The consultation window is the last practical opportunity for regulated firms to influence how AI governance expectations are framed before they become supervisory practice. Firms should assess the draft against their existing model risk, outsourcing and data governance frameworks and raise specific proportionality or implementation concerns now. The investor-protection focus on digital deception also signals regulatory attention to AI-enabled fraud.
What Happened
The Bermuda Monetary Authority hosted a free investment webinar on 8 October covering scam alerts, digital deception and investing basics, with its fintech regulators taking questions, as part of its World Investor Week campaign running from 5 to 9 October. Separately, the BMA's consultation on a draft guidance note on the responsible use of AI in Bermuda's financial services sector accepts comments until close of business on 30 October 2026.
Why It Matters

Firms should assess the draft against their existing model risk, outsourcing and data governance frameworks and raise specific proportionality or implementation concerns now.
