23rd March 2026 | Hong Kong
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has released the MindForge Artificial Intelligence (AI) Risk Management Toolkit for financial institutions, providing resources to manage AI-related risks across Traditional AI, Generative AI & Emerging Agentic AI Technologies. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Risk Management Toolkit was developed with 24 banks, insurance companies, capital market firms & industry partners. Announcement (20/3/26): “he Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) today announced the successful conclusion of phase two of Project MindForge, which culminates in the publication of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Risk Management Toolkit for the financial services sector. This toolkit, developed collaboratively by a consortium of 24 leading banks, insurance companies, capital market firms, and other industry partners, provides financial institutions with resources for managing AI-related risks across traditional AI, generative AI, and emerging agentic AI technologies. The MindForge AI Risk Management Toolkit features an ‘AI Risk Management Operationalisation Handbook ’ that provides detailed, practical guidance on implementing AI risk management frameworks. This handbook is accompanied by a supplement that features a compilation of AI case studies that document the experiences and lessons learned from financial institutions. These examples offer insights into the challenges, approaches and risk management practices when using AI in different organisational contexts. MAS is presently reviewing responses to an earlier public consultation on a set of Guidelines on AI Risk Management. The Operationalisation Handbook is organised into four sections, which are aligned with MAS’ proposed Guidelines: 1) Scope and oversight – Establishment of AI governance framework, and clarity of roles and responsibility for AI oversight. 2) AI risk management – Identification of AI usage, risk materiality assessment, and AI inventorisation through organisational systems, policies and procedures. 3) AI lifecycle management – Implementation of controls covering the entire lifecycle of AI use. 4) Enablers – Development of organisational capabilities, infrastructure, and resources to enable ongoing responsible AI use and risk management. The Operationalisation Handbook will be periodically updated as the use of AI in the industry matures and to reflect MAS’ supervisory expectations. To facilitate broader industry adoption of AI risk management practices and solutions, MAS will establish an AI risk management workgroup comprising MindForge consortium members and other industry practitioners under the BuildFin.ai initiative to develop implementation resources, facilitate knowledge sharing, and build capabilities and frameworks for managing risks from newer AI technologies such as agentic AI.
