Agentic AI in financial services puts tech sourcing at the center of governance
Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving from a tool that supports decisions to one that executes them. In financial services, AI systems are already taking autonomous actions such as fraud detection, transaction blocking or risk assessment. This shift fundamentally changes the requirements for governance, accountability and sourcing.
As institutions scale AI, traditional procurement approaches are no longer sufficient. Vendor agreements now define not only cost and performance, but also the boundaries of machine autonomy, regulatory compliance and operational risk. Tech sourcing is therefore becoming a central lever in managing AI-driven transformation
