Panel Discussion: Money Moves at Machine Speed - Trust, Risk, and Quality in Agentic Finance
summary
Banks and insurers are already running agents that autonomously handle account maintenance (address and beneficiary updates), quietly revert a reversible duplicate-transaction, and compress advisor prep from 20 hours to minutes while FINRA marketing review moves from 5–10 days to minutes. Governance requires shadow-mode deployments, golden datasets and rubrics, tracking override rates, and logging the full decision context as a flight recorder plus a model biography. Release criteria hinge on testability, risk appetite, and whether failures are containable.
