Supervision benchmarks – the latest data and analysis
Supervision Benchmarks 2026 report – AI and data
Benchmarks highlight sharp rise in AI use as well as continued improvements to data handling
The Supervision Benchmarks 2026 reveal some striking examples of how supervision is changing. Perhaps most notable is the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence, which is now in use among some three-quarters of supervisors, up from just one-quarter a year ago. Meanwhile, supervisors continue the laborious process of upgrading and automating their data collection and analysis. The share of those reporting extensive or full end-to-end automation of their regulatory data processes rose from 24.3% in 2025 to 47.2% this year.

Rise of AI in supervision
Use of artificial intelligence in supervision has surged from around a quarter of institutions in the 2025 benchmark to three-quarters in 2026. The foremost area of AI application among supervisors is summarisation (62.9%). Over half of respondents also indicated use of the technology for document preparation (57.1%). Larger supervisory teams are more likely to deploy AI tools.
