Artificial intelligence
It’s not just credit unions. Big banks, fintechs, neobanks, and tech giants are all exploring new frontiers with AI.
Actually, just about every industry is.
And although regulatory guidance is forthcoming, it will always be slower than the speed of innovation. That’s especially true when it comes to AI.
Unfortunately, this means that your credit union will have to establish its own AI policy.
- What are your goals with AI?
- How will you use it?
- What are the risks?
That’s what this Credit Union AI Policy is for. Version 2.0 sets out who is accountable, how AI risk is tiered, and what staff, AI agents and vendors can and can’t do. An appendix gives your board 11 questions to ask when approving the policy and reviewing your AI program.
What’s new in version 2.0
- Restructured around governance roles and risk tiers.
- New definitions, plus new sections on staff use of AI, AI agents, AI incidents and AI-enabled threats, and training.
- Scope now covers AI built into vendor products.
- Absolute commitments replaced with testing and monitoring duties.
- Operational detail moved to supporting documents, so the policy stays stable while your standards keep pace.
Use it as is, modify it, or just steal the parts you like!
