Compliance and operational resilience are no longer defensive disciplines—they are strategic foundations for scale, autonomy, and sustained leadership in an era of agentic AI and increasingly autonomous financial workflows.

As AI moves from pilots to end‑to‑end workflow autonomy, and as tokenized money and assets begin to reshape settlement, liquidity, and collateral operations, Tier‑1 institutions face a defining challenge: how to industrialize AI at scale while maintaining unwavering control, auditability, and systemic resilience. In fact, by 2027, IDC expects that 90% of financial services institutions are expected to require compliance training for agentic AI agents as a formal control, tied to identity, testing, and revocation mechanisms.

This exclusive CIO roundtable is designed for large, complex banking institutions navigating enterprise‑wide AI adoption, multi‑jurisdictional regulatory expectations, and continuous‑availability mandates. Through IDC insights, IBM’s perspective, and a peer‑level client discussion, the session explores how leading banks are embedding resilience‑by‑design into hybrid cloud architectures, enabling governed agentic AI, token‑ready platforms, and real‑time risk intelligence.

The focus is not experimentation—but how Tier‑1 banks convert regulatory rigor into structural advantage, increasing decision velocity, operational leverage, and trust at scale
