C031 — Claim Definition¶

Claim	C031

Claim as Received¶

The Federal Reserve's SR 11-7 guidance acknowledges it "may lose effectiveness" for adaptive AI models.

Claim as Clarified¶

Partially correct. The SR 11-7 guidance itself (2011) predates modern AI and does not contain this specific language. However, the GARP analysis (2025) states that 'for models that recalibrate autonomously or adapt based on ongoing interaction, these [traditional SR 11-7 validation] tools may lose effectiveness.' The quote comes from industry analysis of SR 11-7's limitations, not from the Fed itself.
