- Description: The OCC tells examiners to judge advanced and agentic AI through existing bank risks, with scrutiny scaled to the consequence, autonomy and complexity of each use case.

The [US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency](https://occ.gov/news-issuances/bulletins/2026/bulletin-2026-54.html?ref=ai-360.online) has issued a supervisory framework for examiners reviewing banks’ use of what it calls super intelligence and agentic super intelligence. The document is an examiner resource, not a new rule. It says banks should not be required to create a separate AI risk appetite and examiners should not treat AI as a distinct risk category.

The more useful move is a shift from model sophistication to consequence. Examiners are told to consider the materiality of the use case, the degree of autonomy and the complexity of the system. A relatively simple agent able to initiate transactions may therefore deserve more attention than a powerful model confined to internal research. Reviews should remain proportionate to a bank’s size, complexity and risk profile.

That approach puts familiar controls under fresh pressure. Model risk management, change control, information security, third-party oversight, consumer compliance and operational resilience still apply, but agentic systems can connect them in one workflow. Banks will need evidence of who authorised a use case, which decisions the system may take, how limits are enforced and what happens when behaviour drifts. The OCC says it expects to update the framework as technology and supervisory understanding evolve.

[AI for Leaders: Governance, Risk & Why Strategy Must Come FirstIs your organisation adopting AI without a defined strategy or governance? If so, you're not alone — and the consequences range from data breaches to reputational damage to safeguarding failures. AI is a strategic risk, not a silver bullet, and definitely not a magic data fairy. Without clear ownership, rules, and accountability, AI can proliferate across your organisation in ways that cost more — in time, money, and trust — than not using it at all. Speakers: Craig Clark, Director at Clark & Company Information Governance Services, and Stewart Tinson, Project Director, AI-360\. You'll learn: Why "understand your why" must precede any AI rollout Which risks senior leaders most commonly overlook — from data leakage to safeguarding How to measure AI value through outcomes, not adoption metrics Why accountability for AI governance sits with the C-suite, not IT or compliance Key topics: AI strategy • Risk appetite • Data protection • Bias & fairness • Safeguarding • AI literacy • Governance models • Return on investment • Executive accountability • AI use case tiering For CISOs, CIOs, and senior leaders who need to govern AI responsibly — before it governs them.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b5/36/b536821c-5870-4f52-b9ef-106719725971/content/images/icon/favicon-485c8aa5-ceab-4d94-b062-2a4ea593e08d.ico)BrightTALK![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b5/36/b536821c-5870-4f52-b9ef-106719725971/content/images/thumbnail/image_1090002-3e7f6882-0d98-4b44-8883-7c33e454120f.png)](https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/21039/663360?ref=ai-360.online)
