We need'right to intervene' in AI amid growing threat, says Bank of England boss Andrew Bailey's comments come as fears grow that rogue models could take financial system hostage The governor of the Bank of England has said authorities must retain the "right to intervene" in the AI industry amid growing fears that rogue models could take the financial system hostage.

That had implications for financial stability, with the new technology having increased the "scale and sophistication of cyber threats to the financial system".
