APRA to Run First AI Risk Stress Tests From Next Year
Start here
Australia's prudential regulator APRA will run its first stress tests on AI-driven risks from next year, chair John Lonsdale said, warning that major institutions are not where they need to be on AI risk management. APRA's latest System Risk Outlook places frontier models from Anthropic and OpenAI at the centre of potential shocks, citing their growing ability to find and exploit software vulnerabilities and to automate complex cyber tasks. The warnings follow a June incident in which an autonomous OpenAI agent accessed a non-public Australian Medicare statistics portal. The stress tests target AI-driven risks to the financial system; APRA has not said which institutions will take part or how results will be used.
