What started out as just another (albeit important) speech on the Fair Lending Act soon became another flashpoint on AI.

As my colleague Mercedes Tunstall and I note in this week's issue, AI-related comments from Federal Reserve Board Vice Chair Michael Barr this past Tuesday drew some headlines and furthered the discussion on AI – this time, with a focus on AI's impact on fair lending laws.

I guess we ought to stop being surprised. We can all expect to see AI come up in lots of financial regulatory conversations over the coming weeks, months and years. 

Any thoughts on AI? You can reach me here.
