Banks wrestle with AI agent governance as autonomous deployments scale
Originally published:
Senior executives at Truist, M&T Bank, Franklin Templeton, and Barclays are developing governance frameworks—covering permissions, performance reviews, and kill switches—to manage increasingly autonomous AI agents. Truist restricts agents to productivity and client-advisory use cases and keeps human judgment central, while Franklin Templeton has deployed thousands of agents overseen by manager and HR agents reporting to humans.
