Shanghai Financial Regulatory Bureau published measures encouraging banks and insurers to deploy artificial intelligence to optimize intelligent marketing and omnichannel service, raising service efficiency, precision and customer experience. The measures push intelligent redesign of business processes and deeper AI use in lending, claims adjudication and operations to boost efficiency and risk management. They mandate strengthened internal-management automation across office functions, investment research, R&D and operations, and require building intelligent risk-control systems with multidimensional models to improve forward-looking monitoring and prevention of media/public sentiment risks, illegal fundraising, fraud and money laundering. The regulator supports cautious exploration of next‑generation intelligent terminals and financial intelligent agents provided risks remain controllable, aiming to shift services from digital enablement to intelligence-driven delivery.
