Bank of England Signals Need for New Agentic AI Regulations on June 30

According to Jin10, the Bank of England's deputy governor signaled on Tuesday (June 30) the need for specialized regulations on agentic AI systems to mitigate risks to the financial system, marking a potential shift in the central bank's regulatory stance.

Briaden noted that rapid developments in autonomous agents within payments and trading have exposed regulatory gaps, as the existing framework was not designed for self-operating systems. "All actions by autonomous agents cannot realistically require human-in-the-loop intervention," he stated.
