Handbook - March 2024

In response to the increasing focus on AI as both an opportunity and a risk for the financial services industry, ORX Scenarios has published this AI Scenario Development Handbook to support institutions in developing or reviewing their own AI scenarios.


Based on data submitted by, and discussions with, ORX Scenarios subscribers, this handbook provides practical guidance on the development and assessment of AI scenarios as well as their preparation and governance.


The AI Scenario Development Handbook is available for free to all ORX Scenarios subscribers. The handbook provides the information you need to create a robust and effective scenario for AI events.

Scope and objectives

Forming part of a series of handbooks offering practical guidance on developing scenarios for challenging and emerging risk themes, this handbook, like others in the series, provides:

  • Up-to-date data-driven scenario analysis guidance based on current AI operational risk scenario trends, offering a foundational baseline for scenario analysis supported by currently available industry data supplemented by ORX information.
  • A comprehensively standardised view of current industry scenario data, with all key scenario components mapped to relevant ORX categorisations (event, causes, impacts, controls, drivers).
  • Four full example scenarios covering the main storyline themes identified in the survey data submitted by ORX Scenarios subscribers.
