Four signals caught Rick’s attention this week, and they all point in the same direction: the accountability era for AI in banking has arrived.
In this week’s What I’m Watching, Rick Mavrovich breaks down why the regulatory posture on AI shifted from guidance to warning, what the Temenos-Microsoft agentic AI announcement means for banks running Transact, why Intesa Sanpaolo’s move to Google Cloud is an architecture story not a vendor story, and what the talent moves at Lloyds and BMO Harris signal about which banks are actually preparing for examiner scrutiny.
What I’m Watching is a weekly forward-looking analysis from Core System Partners, built for banking executives who want to think ahead, not just catch up.
