UK Regulator Draws Hundreds of Applicants for Two Senior AI Roles

The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has attracted hundreds of applicants for two senior AI positions as it builds tools to supervise more firms and prepares for systems that can act on customers’ behalf. FCA chief data, information and intelligence officer Jessica Rusu described the response to the openings as “hundreds of really high-quality applications.” The positions cover AI research and the security of the regulator’s digital systems. One leader would direct research into agentic AI and data science. The role includes AI strategy, model governance and potential uses of the technology in work against financial crime. The other would lead security operations for the FCA’s technology and AI services, overseeing a department of about 70 employees.
