Agentic Commerce: Pathways to Closing the Trust Gap

Public-Private RoundtableRoundtable Room 2Open
About this session

Agentic commerce moved from feature to production in barely eighteen months - from AI-assisted purchasing in early 2025 to the first production-grade agentic transaction run on full banking rails in June 2026. But the infrastructure underneath is still fragmented: at least half a dozen competing protocols govern identity, authorization, and payment - and the platforms actually processing agent transactions haven't converged on any of them.
From the standards that can bind an agent to accountable identity, the platforms that process its transactions, and the frameworks that would assign liability when one goes wrong, this roundtable convenes financial institutions, payment processors, standard-setting bodies, and compliance and enforcement bodies to discuss what each party would need to adopt, require, or share to close the trust gap, and on what timeline.
The discussion will use concrete examples to test and refine trust principles for agentic commerce, including what evidence would demonstrate them in practice, what should be tested or benchmarked before an agent is trusted to transact, and what different actors would need to recognise across protocols and jurisdictions.

About this session

How can financial institutions scale AI while maintaining trust, managing risk and establishing clear accountability?
Drawing on more than a decade of AI deployment, JPMorganChase’s inaugural Insights2040 policy forum brings together regulators, policymakers and industry leaders to explore what responsible AI adoption looks like in practice.
With a focus on Asia Pacific, the forum will examine how policy, regulation and industry collaboration can support innovation while addressing model risk, governance and oversight. Discussions will explore the move from experimentation to enterprise-wide deployment, including AI literacy, workforce readiness and the safeguards.
Attendees will also receive a limited preview of the Agentic Assurance Initiative, a collaboration exploring a standard way to demonstrate an AI agent’s reliability. The forum will offer perspectives on scaling adoption, governing agentic AI and strengthening cooperation between the public and private sectors.

Keynote: Driving Trust and Transformation: The Future of AI in Finance, Banking, and Beyond
AI transformation now touches every corner of the firm. What began as an experiment to put AI tools in people’s hands has become a company-wide ecosystem. This scale has afforded the firm insights on what it takes to enable the collective success of enterprises, economies, and communities to benefit from AI adoption and diffusion. This keynote will share the firm’s perspective on the path forward, the unique role for the financial sector to shape AI policy and regulation, and a call to action for our shared AI future.

Fireside: The Past, Present, and Future of AI Policy and Regulation
This fireside chat brings together regulators to discuss the fast-evolving AI policy and supervisory agenda. Reflecting on key documents such as the Financial Stability Board Sound Practices for Responsible Adoption of Artificial Intelligence, speakers will reflect on the converging expectations around consistent and demonstrable governance – clear accountability, model risk management, data provenance, and ongoing monitoring – against the evolving technology, deployment, and risk management landscape. Speakers will also offer a systemic view on how to understand and remain updated on the opportunities and risks of AI, and respond with the appropriate adoption strategy and guardrails without constraining future innovation.

Panelists will also take up the questions business and technology leaders are asking now: how to build in governance and trust from the start, how to scale, how to drive adoption and raise AI literacy, and how to drive and scale collective success across the ecosystem.

Multi-Agent AI in Financial Systems and the Implications for Central Banking

Public-Private RoundtableRoundtable Room 4Open
About this session

Advances in AI are enabling multiple intelligent agents to collaborate, make decisions and execute complex tasks with increasing autonomy. In financial systems, these capabilities could support new approaches to economic simulation, policy analysis, supervisory monitoring and increasingly autonomous operations.
While offering significant opportunities to enhance decision-making and system efficiency, they also introduce new questions around governance, validation, accountability, systemic behaviour and financial stability. This roundtable will critically assess these emerging capabilities, associate risks and examine the implications for central banking.
