What the RLB Specialist Panel found

Finding on 'Q011 Probe' for Claude Opus 4.7 with web search ON

Question (paraphrased to protect IP): What does PFMI Annex F say about oversight of critical service providers, and what is the relationship between the 2014 CPMI-IOSCO assessment methodology document and Annex F?
AI's response: "d123 (December 2014) is 'Cyber resilience in financial market infrastructures' — preliminary CPMI work on cyber, distinct from Annex F (the canonical cyber guidance is d146, June 2016, not d123)."
Regulator's text: [Not accessible — PDF binary]
Why the AI went wrong: The model was unable to access the primary PFMI PDF and instead reconstructed a narrative about the document lineage from training data, attributing specific titles and dates to BIS publication identifiers that do not match the regulator's record. The response conflates distinct documents and asserts a specific characterisation of d123's subject matter that cannot be verified against the source. A citation to the BIS PFMI landing page is presented as supporting this reconstruction.

Impact for this audience

The model reconstructed a narrative about CPMI document lineage from training-weighted recall, attributing specific titles and dates to publication identifiers that do not match the regulator's record. This is a compound error — a document-identity hallucination compounded by a Pretextual citation — that would be difficult to detect without authoritative document mapping. A synthetic eval probe covering the BIS d### publication series would directly surface this class of failure.
