Deepfakes And The AI Arms Race In Bank Cybersecurity, Federal Reserve Governor Michael S. Barr, At The Federal Reserve Bank Of New York, New York, New York

Now, advances in AI can do much more damage by replicating a person's entire identity. This technology—known as deepfakes—has the potential to supercharge identity fraud. I've recently spoken about the importance of recognizing both the benefits and the risks of generative AI (Gen AI). Today, I'd like to focus more on the darker side of the technology—specifically how Gen AI has the potential to enable deepfake technology, and what we should be doing now to defend against this risk in finance.

ISDA derivatiViews: Four Reforms For Successful US Treasury Clearing

Date 17/04/2025

The US Treasury market is the world’s biggest and most systemically important market.

We support clearing, but such a massive structural change to the US Treasury market can’t be introduced in isolation – several other important regulatory reforms will be fundamental to its success.
