As AI becomes more autonomous and embedded across financial systems, institutions face a critical challenge: how to deploy innovative AI capabilities whilst maintaining control over data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience in an increasingly fragmented regulatory landscape.
This FStech report, produced in collaboration with Red Hat, draws on insights from 101 financial services decision-makers across the UK and Europe. The research reveals that 73 per cent of institutions now view data sovereignty as critical or important to their AI strategy. Yet implementation remains challenging – with 64 per cent lacking formal sovereignty frameworks despite recognising its strategic importance.
Explore the practical realities of agentic AI deployment, from fraud detection and compliance monitoring to the barriers holding back customer-facing innovation. Learn why institutions are prioritising governance over speed, how open source technologies are enabling architectural sovereignty, and what's required to move from ambition to execution.
