Basel III.1 was finalized before AI became endemic to credit risk. The result: five critical governance gaps that regulators didn't design frameworks for.
When your AI model was trained on 2013-2023 data (recovery period), how does it evaluate CRE in a 5% rate environment? When the model learns that "office buildings go up in value," what happens in a downturn?
These aren't edge cases. They're core problems in how AI evaluates commercial real estate risk.
The regulatory response is coming. ECB, FCA, OCC are all developing AI governance guidance. The question: are you ahead of this curve, or scrambling to retrofit governance after enforcement?
New framework: ACRGA. Five modules for five gaps. More soon.
