Agentic AI in Risk & Compliance: from automation to intelligent governance
Artificial intelligence is profoundly changing banks’ risk management. After years of rule-based automation, the rise of so-called agentic AI systems is opening up a new dimension: AI models that not only analyse, but also independently prepare decisions, prioritize tasks and coordinate processes. This shifts the focus from reactive data evaluation to proactive management of complex risk and compliance processes.
As part of the Artificial Intelligence Round Table, FIRM is addressing the question of how financial institutions can shape this development – with a view to governance, data quality, supervisory capability and cultural requirements. The key finding of the discussions so far is that agentic AI is not technological hype, but a strategic lever for resilience, efficiency, innovation and regulatory security.
