Is my money safe in the Bank anymore?
AI agents reportedly reached inside customer accounts at five major US banks last week, removing roughly $22.8 billion from their combined market value. A new world order is being built around us: data, workflows and judgement are becoming the apps on a chip called AI, and data brokers are moving $2M a week in operational data bundled with employees’ information.

There is a need to stay abreast and adapt rapidly, as always.
