Paper Proposes SR 26-2-Compatible Generative AI Governance Framework
Highlights a governance gap relevant to any agency using GenAI in decision-adjacent workflows — even where models fall outside formal model-risk scope.
Key points
- An arXiv preprint proposes a GenAI control framework mapped to the US Federal Reserve's SR 26-2 model-risk guidance.
- The framework addresses governance gaps where generative AI shapes regulated decisions without being classed as a formal model.
- This is a preprint proposal, not endorsed guidance - limited direct applicability to Australian regulatory settings.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor APS AI governance practitioners may want to monitor whether similar control-mapping approaches emerge in Australian financial regulatory guidance or whole-of-government AI assurance frameworks.
- Consider Agencies using GenAI in decision-adjacent workflows could consider whether the paper's prompt-and-output documentation approach offers a useful checklist pattern, independent of the US regulatory context.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

A preprint paper (arXiv:2607.04103) proposes a Generative AI Control Framework for US financial institutions aligning with SR 26-2, the Federal Reserve's April 2026 update to model risk management guidance. The paper argues that generative and agentic AI can influence regulated workflows — such as monitoring interpretation, policy analysis, and adverse-action drafting — without being classified as formal models, creating accountability and traceability gaps. The proposed response is to treat generative outputs as auditable workflow inputs when they can affect regulated decisions, documenting prompts, retrieval sources, review steps, and escalation thresholds. The framework is a practitioner checklist seed, not official supervisory guidance.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] APS AI governance practitioners may want to monitor whether similar control-mapping approaches emerge in Australian financial regulatory guidance or whole-of-government AI assurance frameworks.
- [Consider] Agencies using GenAI in decision-adjacent workflows could consider whether the paper's prompt-and-output documentation approach offers a useful checklist pattern, independent of the US regulatory context.
