Permissioned identity is emerging as critical infrastructure for trusted client relationships in an AI-powered financial ecosystem. This fireside chat explores how building this foundation can enable AI adoption at scale, deliver smarter client experiences, and strengthen risk controls. We’ll also discuss how established institutions and emerging ecosystem players can work together to build sustainable, trusted foundations for long-term success.

As financial institutions move agentic AI into core business, gains in growth, productivity and efficiency may bring consequences that are harder to see—and harder to contain. Within firms, greater autonomy could reshape jobs, decision-making, accountability and operational risk. Across markets and governments, it raises questions about oversight, stability and who is responsible when agents act across institutional boundaries. Closing this series, the session looks beyond the promised gains to ask who benefits, who bears the costs, and how leaders can recognise and govern outcomes they did not intend.

This session shows how AI and model-driven engineering can revive black-boxed COBOL core systems. GienTech will demonstrate how its BTI approach extracts business logic from legacy code, creates human-readable models, and generates traceable modern systems. Attendees will gain a practical, phased path to reduce maintenance costs, key-person risk, and migration uncertainty.
