Tomorrow: We go inside the bank.

Internal AI agents are already rebalancing capital, flagging fraud, and closing case files.

Most boards still haven’t seen the logs.

@kasistoAi’s AI agents now handle 90% of calls for some banks, with built-in filters for Reg BI and UDAAP.

High containment. Low friction.

These agents don’t just answer questions. They negotiate refunds, approve payments, and push products. Capital One, JPMorgan, and Upstart are already scaling them and reaping rewards.

Treat AI agents like employees, not tools.

If they’re making decisions, they need boundaries, logs, and escalation rules.

Govern them now, or explain them later.

Prompt injection. Escalation failures. Biased outputs.

AI agents are triggering Reg BI, UDAAP, and ECOA exposure.

Still think this is a tech problem?

Every time an AI agent talks to a customer, it speaks under your brand.

And most banks still don’t know what it’s saying.

Banks are hiring AI agents who negotiate, approve payments, and recommend products.

They don’t sleep. They sometimes escalate.

They do represent you.

Do you know what they're saying?

Tomorrow, we unpack how banks are quietly handing power to machines.

If your AI forecasting model is still in a sandbox, the advantage window is closing.

With SR 11-7 applied to forecasting AI, boards must ask: is your model validated, override-capable, and audit-ready? If it moves capital, it needs controls.

Forecasting AI is now squarely under model risk mandates.

U.S. banks must tier and validate AI outputs used in capital or client strategy, or risk regulatory blowback.

Basel IV doesn’t care if your treasury AI model is generative.

If it informs CET1 or TLAC, regulators will expect audit trails & performance data.

Ensure your AI is Basel-aligned, regardless of margin upside.

🛟 How AI Is Quietly Taking Over Treasury Decisions

AI-powered treasury platforms for banking and corporates are accelerating cashflow, unlocking capital, and surfacing new product opportunities. It works brilliantly until the assumptions break. When the next liquidity crunch hits or the model quietly drifts, will solvency still hold?

Abbie Widin @abbiewidin.bsky.social · May 22

Treasury AI isn’t covered by most model risk frameworks, but it should be.

When these tools direct liquidity or forecast solvency, the board owns the exposure.

When you look at your AI-driven treasury dashboard:

☑ Is the model explainable?
☑ Can it be overridden?
☑ Is retraining tracked?
☑ How it will perform in edge cases?

If not, read this week’s issue before you approve.

Drift, hallucination, prompt injection.

If your AI models cannot explain how they reason or why they change, you are exposed.

Explainability (XAI) is not required by law, but it is expected. Sometimes.

Regulators are watching and smart banks are already building dashboards that show which models can be defended.

Banks don't need to explain every AI model. But they must explain the right ones, to the right people, at the right time.

This week’s AI Check In shows where explainability is leverage, not just a compliance task.
