Securing Agentic AI in Finance
Securing Agentic AI in Finance
You are cordially invited to join the Cardano Foundation and GLEIF for an evening focused on the future of agentic AI in financial markets and the safeguards required to enable trusted innovation.
Switzerland continues to serve as a global hub for digital innovation, supported by its robust financial ecosystem, regulatory clarity, and longstanding tradition of multilateral collaboration. As the financial industry increasingly explores the integration of agentic AI systems, market participants are confronted with the opportunities and challenges presented by technologies capable of autonomous decision-making, yet ultimately unable to bear responsibility for the consequences of those decisions.
This event will explore how agentic AI can be responsibly deployed within financial markets, including the development of safeguards, governance frameworks, accountability mechanisms, and trust-enabling oversight models. The discussion will also examine emerging approaches to risk mitigation and consider how Switzerland’s institutional environment can continue to support responsible innovation while preserving financial stability.
Participants will engage in a focused 45-minute roundtable discussion held under Chatham House Rules, designed to encourage exchange across disciplines and institutions, followed by networking drinks with members of the Swiss Fintech Week community.
