What happens when AI moves beyond helping compliance teams manage work to actually performing it? For banks and the businesses they serve, this shift could fundamentally change the economics of compliance, risk management and growth. As regulatory complexity intensifies, AI agents are emerging that can interpret obligations, execute workflows, investigate suspicious activity and document decisions—all within defined controls and with human oversight. In this conversation, Leela Founder and CEO Preeti Krishnan explores how autonomous AI is transforming compliance from a labor-intensive cost center into an intelligent, scalable capability. The discussion will examine what this means for banks, their fintech partners and business customers, how institutions can balance automation with accountability, and whether the next generation of AI-powered compliance infrastructure could become a competitive differentiator rather than a constraint on innovation and growth.
