AI is no longer just analyzing financial data — it’s starting to act on it. From influencing loan approvals to detecting fraud and even laying the groundwork for autonomous financial decisions, agentic AI is pushing into territory that raises big questions about trust, control, and accountability.
In this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw sits down with Dominic Wellington, Director of Product Marketing at SnapLogic, to explore what happens when AI moves from advisor to operator. How are companies using AI agents in finance today? What’s holding them back? And how close are we to a world where AI systems are actually moving money?
The conversation dives into real-world use cases, including loan approvals and fraud detection, the growing importance of data integration, and why many AI projects fail before reaching production. Plus, a candid discussion on the risks — from hallucinations and shadow AI to the legal and ethical challenges of handing over financial decisions to machines.
If AI can make decisions faster than humans, should it? And more importantly, would you trust it?
