The Governance of Agentic AI and Frontier Models in Financial Services

Even as AI becomes increasingly systemic in financial services, the development of autonomous agents and frontier models with unprecedented capabilities are posing new challenges to existing AI governance frameworks, which remain a work-in-progress across jurisdictions around the world.

As AI systems become more autonomous and deeply embedded in financial institutions and financial market infrastructures, the session will explore how authorities can ensure resilience, trust, and responsible adoption while managing emerging operational, governance, and cyber risks. The session will also focus on the safeguards, standards, and governance frameworks needed to support trustworthy AI deployment as well as the role of central banks and regulators in shaping the future of AI in the financial system.
