The unbearable lightness of banking

Banking has always traded on weight — committees, signatures, vaults, fiduciary duty, human accountability. Agentic AI proposes to abstract most of that away: decisions in milliseconds, actions at scale without a signature, a system that is frictionless, autonomous and almost weightless — and, once you actually get there, faintly unsettling.

Who is accountable when no human is in the loop — and is a bank without weight still a bank?

The panel takes on three shifts hitting banking and wealth management at once: getting autonomous agents from demo into production; the governance and compliance that decides what can actually ship inside a regulated bank; and the AI‑native operating models forming underneath.
