China's National Financial Regulatory Administration issued guidance on safe AI
development in banking and insurance, directing stronger construction of
intelligent computing infrastructure. Financial institutions should leverage
existing compute resources and, consistent with national policy, deploy
intelligent computing capacity as needed using green, low‑carbon technologies to
build autonomous, controllable, secure and efficient compute platforms to
support technological self‑reliance. The regulator encourages large financial
institutions with capacity to provide compute services to smaller peers and
supports industry exploration of co‑building and shared infrastructure. It also
supports, under security and compliance preconditions, use of national compute
nodes or industry infrastructure to reduce AI R&D and application costs, and
requires strengthened management of critical IT outsourcing of intelligent
compute resources.
