Comment by Sheldon Mills
Executive Director for Consumers and Competition at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), UK; leading the Mills Review into AI in retail financial services
AI is already shaping financial services, but its longer-term effects may be more far-reaching. This review will consider how emerging uses of AI could influence consumers, markets and firms, looking towards 2030 and beyond.

Verified. Quote is from Sheldon Mills, FCA Executive Director for Consumers and Competition, in the FCA press release dated 27 January 2026 announcing the Mills Review into the long-term impact of AI on retail financial services. FCA source URL returned 403 to WebFetch, but the quote text and attribution were independently confirmed via multiple secondary sources (wired-gov mirror, Global Regulation Tomorrow, Freshfields, Baker McKenzie, Burges Salmon coverage) and WebSearch results that reproduce the exact wording. Author attribution (author_id 4007, Sheldon Mills) is correct. Year was missing and has been set to 2026 via opinions_edit. Vote "abstain" on statement 440 ("Regulated industries should prohibit AI from making autonomous decisions where fiduciary duty applies") is appropriate: the quote is descriptive/exploratory, framing the Mills Review's intent to consider AI's influence on consumers, markets and firms toward 2030. It neither advocates prohibition nor rejects it; the FCA's stance is principles-based and outcomes-focused, not calling for a prohibition. Relevancy to the statement is tangential but adequate as it directly addresses AI in a fiduciary/regulated industry context.
