Banks are testing a new type of artificial intelligence, like agentic AI, that does more than scan for keywords or follow preset rules. Instead of relying only on static alerts, some trading desks are beginning to use systems designed to reason through patterns in real time and flag conduct that may need human review.Bloomberg detailed how Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank are exploring or deploying so-called “agentic” AI tools for trading surveillance. The goal is to strengthen oversight of orders and trades by using software agents that can analyse activity as it happens and identify patterns that could suggest misconduct.Adaptive…

Many organisations are eroding the foundations of business – productivity, competitiveness, and efficiency. This is happening due to poor implementation of human-AI collaboration, according to cloud data and AI consultancy, Datatonic. The company says in the next phase of enterprise AI, success will come from carefully-governed and designed AI that works alongside humans in “human-in-the-loop (HiTL)’ systems. The company’s research shows that companies that fail to embed AI into their human workflows are falling behind the competition as productivity slows down. Datatonic says a hybrid human-AI approach speeds up decision-making, thus improving overall operations. Scott Eivers, CEO of Datatonic says,…

Improving trust in agentic AI for finance workflows remains a major priority for technology leaders today.Over the past two years, enterprises have rushed to put automated agents into real workflows, spanning customer support and back-office operations. These tools excel at retrieving information, yet they often struggle to provide consistent and explainable reasoning during multi-step scenarios.Solving the automation opacity problemFinancial institutions especially rely on massive volumes of unstructured data to inform investment memos, conduct root-cause investigations, and run compliance checks. When agents handle these tasks, any failure to trace exact logic can lead to severe regulatory fines or poor asset allocation.…

It’s an open secret (that is, not many people seem to know) that the institutions keeping the global financial system turnig over run code that is ancient, barely understood, and frighteningly hard to replace.

A survey conducted on behalf of Basware found that 61% of organisations had deployed AI agents as experiments, and a quarter “did not fully understand” what an AI agent looks like in practice. The implication is that adoption remains uneven and, in many cases, exploratory. Basware’s would like to see its customers move from experimentation to operational use. The survey figures comprised of responses from 200 finance leaders in the US, United Kingdom, France, and Germany. The question permeating agentic activities in financial platforms is one of governance. Finance functions will delegate tasks to AI systems only human operators retain…
