The pace of financial services is shifting from human speed to machine speed — and in FSI it's arriving first and hardest. Customers increasingly delegate research and transactions to AI agents, adversaries probe and exploit in hours not months, and all of it must happen under the tightest regulatory bar of any industry.

Winning this era isn't about bolting on another tool; it's about building the trusted foundation your agents work from — one governed source of truth, with the context, controls and data access that let agents act at machine speed and under control.

In this Financial Services Forum, Databricks, Bain & Consulting, Infosys and leading Australian institutions make the case that the lakehouse has become that foundation — the agentic control plane for FSI — and show it in action, from the customer channel with the Agentic CDP to governed data democratisation in a regulated Australian bank.
