Agentic AI and the Shift to Autonomous Finance

Who Will Lead in the Age of Agentic Finance?
Global finance is entering a new phase of transformation as artificial intelligence moves beyond efficiency gains and isolated automation. AI systems are now able to interpret information, reason across complex data sets, and influence investment decisions at speed and scale. This shift is changing how markets function and forcing financial institutions to reconsider not just how they deploy technology, but how intelligence itself is embedded across research, risk analysis, and financial decision-making.
Hosted by the Financial Times, in partnership with RavenPack, this FT-chaired digital dialogue brought together senior leaders from across the financial sector to examine this transition. The discussion explored how agentic AI is reshaping finance, why trusted data and human oversight remain central to confidence in AI-driven decisions, and how leading organisations are translating these principles into real-world implementations. Participants left with a clearer view of where the industry is heading and how to position their institutions for the next stage of AI-led change.
