Sheldon Mills, an executive director at the Financial Conduct Authority, told the FT the watchdog would need greater powers to stay on top of the rapid growth of AI and urged UK authorities to review whether the use of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other large language models should be subject to their rules.
Speaking ahead of the publication on Monday of an FCA-commissioned report he has written on the impact of AI in financial services, Mills said regulators in the area would have to embrace AI themselves to keep up with the βspeed, pace, and scale of changeβ the technology is bringing to the sector and to help βmonitor, detect, and tackle the risks.β
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly in active talks with the Trump administration about the US potentially acquiring a 5 percent stake in the leading AI firm.

Donald Trump favors the idea, and his administration has reportedly been talking to several AI firms about the possibility. According to FTβs sources, other companies approached to share similar stakes include Google and Meta.
