About this session
Autonomy of automated systems is increasing rapidly thanks to advances in agentic AI technology. This development impacts not just our everyday life but the economic framework and established systems in various ways, ranging from the automation of simple tasks to increasingly autonomous systems of agents interacting with minimal oversight.
This roundtable unpacks the impact such developments have on both traditional and on-chain payment systems and explores risks and opportunities emerging as adoption progresses.
A diverse group of roundtable participants representing the “full-stack” of payment system actors, including central and commercial banks, regulators, payment providers, digital asset platforms and technology providers, will discuss implications for liquidity management on both an individual and systemic level, uncover design principles for safe agent-based payment systems, and provide insights on priorities for regulatory coordination.
