Andrew Bailey, chair of the Financial Stability Board, warned international finance ministers on Monday about risks from "frontier" AI models [1]. He stated these advanced systems could potentially destabilize the global financial system [2]. The primary concern involves the increased speed, scale, and sophistication of AI-driven cyber-attacks [3].

These advanced tools may outpace current institutional defenses and regulatory protocols [1]. Bailey emphasized that the evolving nature of AI-powered threats is now a top concern for the global watchdog [2]. The warning comes as G20 nations evaluate how new technology impacts long-term economic stability [3].
