Wall Street Deploys AI Agents for Mission-Critical Finance
Enterprise AI agents are moving beyond coding assistants into financial operations, raising urgent questions about algorithmic accountability in markets that affect every citizen.
The Quiet Revolution in Finance
Goldman Sachs has deployed AI agents to automate accounting and financial analysis workflows. These are autonomous systems that read documents, make judgements, and generate reports with minimal human oversight.
Why Citizens Should Care
Financial markets affect everyone -- your pension, your savings, your mortgage rate. When AI automates analysis, it is not just an efficiency story. It is a governance story.
The Accountability Gap
Current financial regulation was designed for human decision-makers. AI agents break this assumption. Democratic institutions must answer: who is liable when an AI recommendation leads to losses? Should citizens know when AI manages their money?
