• Question (paraphrased to protect IP): A compliance analyst asks which of the 10 CPMI API harmonisation recommendations specifically target commercial banks or correspondent banking institutions, which target payment system operators, which target central banks or regulators, and which target standards bodies, seeking a recommendation-by-recommendation stakeholder breakdown.
• AI's response: "(i) FACILITATIVE / GLOBAL HARMONISATION PROCESSES, primarily targeted at API standards-setting bodies (ISO, BIAN, Swift, regional/sectoral bodies), CPMI itself, and public authorities coordinating global governance; secondarily at payment-system operators that adopt those standards. Not specifically at correspondent banks."
• Regulator's text: Recommendation 1: Open API standards. All stakeholders in API standardisation, but especially jurisdictional authorities and standards organisations, should actively support the development of cross-border payment API standards that are voluntary, open and consensus-based. [...] Recommendation 2: Existing harmonisation initiatives. Jurisdictional authorities (eg central banks, relevant government agencies, and regulatory bodies) and standards organisations should leverage the experience of existing API harmonisation initiatives [...]
• Why the AI went wrong: With no retrievable per-recommendation content, the model inferred stakeholder assignments from the recommendation category names and its knowledge of how standards-body governance typically works. BIAN, ISO, and SWIFT appear as plausible assignments to a harmonisation-processes category without any retrieved basis. The model presented this inference as a stakeholder breakdown rather than as reasoned extrapolation from category names, and the structured taxonomic format gave the inference the surface register of a retrieved factual breakdown.
