• The FCA plans to use existing principles-based regulations rather than creating AI-specific rules, despite parliamentary pressure for updated guidance.
• For crypto and digital asset firms in the UK, upcoming AI guidance could impact compliance, particularly concerning AI-driven services and market power concentration.
