Developed by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), Germany’s national cybersecurity authority, the article is part of a project to align AI practices in finance with emerging regulatory standards—particularly the EU AI Act.
It aims to help both developers and auditors assess whether AI systems in finance meet the necessary security, ethical, legal, and operational standards.
In essence, it is a comprehensive guide for AI system testing in finance, helping institutions manage risks, ensure quality, and meet evolving legal and ethical expectations.

Jorge, thanks for your post — it’s very interesting and highly relevant given the current regulatory momentum in the EU.
The fact that Germany’s BSI is taking the lead in developing a framework specifically for AI in finance is a strong signal. It shows that regulators are not just reacting to innovation but actively shaping how it should be implemented safely and responsibly. This guide could become a benchmark for both developers and auditors, especially as the EU AI Act begins to take effect.
I'm curious to see how financial institutions will adapt their AI validation processes in light of this. Thanks again for sharing!
