AI Agents, APIs, and Governance in Financial Services
5:30 - 8:00pm ET | New York, NY
Event Overview
AI agents are beginning to reshape how financial services organizations build, consume, and manage APIs. As autonomous systems increasingly interact with enterprise platforms and sensitive financial data, IT and engineering leaders must rethink governance, observability, and reliability across API ecosystems.
This interactive roundtable discussion focused on the intersection of AI agents, APIs and enterprise governance in financial services. The conversation will explore how organizations are moving from experimentation to real-world deployment of AI-driven systems – and what
it takes to maintain visibility, control and compliance when APIs are consumed not just by developers, but by autonomous software.
Attendees will exchange practical insights on designing APIs for AI agent consumption, implementing scalable governance guardrails, and building observable systems that surface agent behavior in production. The discussion will also examine how agent-based architectures may reshape platform strategy, operational risk, and delivery models in regulated industries.
Among the discussion topics:
- How AI agents are changing the way businesses design and consume enterprise APIs
- Establishing governance, observability, and security controls for autonomous systems
- Managing mission-critical financial data in AI-driven API environments
- Moving from proof-of-concept AI integrations to production-scale deployments
- Preparing for workforce, regulatory, and operational implications of agent-based
architectures
