Euro zone banks need to invest more ​in cybersecurity if they are ‌to get a grip on new AI models that can ​find flaws in software, ​the European Central Bank's outgoing Vice ⁠President Luis de Guindos ​said on Wednesday.

"We have to ​understand much better the potential implications of these new models and to ​try to put in ​place the systems and cybersecurity patches ‌that ⁠can address that situation," de Guindos told reporters.

"And (we have) to try to start to ​enhance the ​awareness ⁠of the financial institutions of the banks about ​the need of additional ​cybersecurity ⁠investment, because it's going to be something that is ⁠going ​to be quite ​structural in the near future." (Reuters, 2026-05-27)
