New York financial institutions are expected to address cybersecurity risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI), and new guidance from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) is aimed at helping firms do just that.
In a letter, published Wednesday, the NYDFS offered guidance to businesses about complying with the department’s comprehensive cybersecurity regulation (Part 500) when AI is involved.
The guidance for the cybersecurity regulation, first enacted in 2017, heavily amended in November 2023, and updated for small businesses in May, doesn’t impose new requirements, the NYDFS said.
