Agentic AI is moving from experimentation to real decision-making in financial services, raising questions not only about safety and control, but also about how autonomy can contribute to the growth of financial institutions. This roundtable addresses both dimensions together.
Grounded in Japan’s hands-on experience—where financial institutions have tested and governed AI under real business and regulatory conditions—the discussion will examine when agentic AI creates tangible value and when it introduces risks that organizations are not yet prepared to absorb. Participants will explore how autonomy can support efficiency, new capabilities, and competitiveness, while also challenging existing operating models, trust, and accountability.
The conversation will focus on what is required to scale agentic AI responsibly, including clear decision boundaries, human oversight, and ownership of outcomes. Japanese perspectives will be brought into dialogue with global stakeholders to examine cross-border considerations and regulatory expectations. The session will conclude by identifying shared principles and practical next steps that can support both sustainable growth and responsible adoption of agentic AI across markets.
