Landscape surveys of the institutional architecture required for cross-sector transitions.
Where AI is actually governed, from international commitments to infrastructure, standards, and enforcement.
The Scan examines how institutions set the conditions on AI’s use through access to computing capacity, procurement, insurance, and existing law. It compares legislation and enforcement across seven major regimes and sets out four priorities for institutional leaders.
Lifecycle accountability and the institutional gap in financial services and healthcare.
Financial services and healthcare are converging on the same governance expectation, continuous lifecycle oversight of deployed systems, through opposite institutional paths. Finance spent fifteen years building model risk infrastructure around SR 11-7; in April 2026 the banking agencies replaced it with SR 26-2 and placed generative and agentic AI expressly outside its scope. Healthcare is improvising one in real time by inserting human verification back into automated workflows. The Scan maps the regulatory landscape across both sectors, distills the cross-sector synthesis, and closes with four organizational postures for institutional leaders preparing for the 2026–2027 examination cycle.
Horizon Scans are HSI's landscape surveys. Each Scan establishes the Institute's position on a cross-sector transition, drawing on regulatory documents, market data, peer research, and primary analysis.
Scans are designed to be referenced over multi-quarter horizons by patrons, advisors, and external readers shaping institutional strategy. Each Scan anchors a corresponding Salon, where the Strategic Council and patrons convene to discuss its institutional implications.
Each Scan carries the byline of its lead author or co-authors, with material editorial contributions credited. Advance copies may be shared with Founding Patrons before public release when appropriate.
