The Artificial Intelligence Executive Oversight Group (AIEOG), jointly established by the Industry Coordinating Committee, brings together executives from financial institutions, federal and state financial regulators, and other key stakeholders. The focus is on addressing shortcomings in the financial industry's application of artificial intelligence and developing practical tools to help financial institutions manage the cybersecurity risks unique to AI and unleash innovation. Corey Wilson, Assistant Under Secretary for Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection at the Treasury Department, stated, "The Treasury Department, through the AIEOG, is working with public-private partners to develop practical tools that will bring tangible changes to the financial industry. These materials are designed to help institutions of all types, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, leverage AI to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses and deploy AI technologies more securely."
