China is preparing to investigate how regulators use artificial intelligence to oversee the financial system. The initiative follows rules adopted on June 18, 2026, by the National Financial Regulatory Administration, which address risk governance, data handling and human supervision of high-risk functions such as credit approval and fund transfers. In October 2026, Ping An Bank became the first listed Chinese lender to adopt internal artificial intelligence management measures aligned with the guidance. The National Development and Reform Commission then announced on November 3, 2026, that it would accelerate legislation covering the technology’s full lifecycle, potentially affecting DeepSeek and Alibaba.
