Compliant AI Infrastructure for Regulated Finance: A tiered multi-agent framework with DLT audit trails for financial operations in DACH

The paper introduces a compliance-first AI architecture for regulated finance, treating regulation as an orientation layer rather than a rigid rule set. It uses a regulatory intent matrix and a governed policy compiler to translate regulatory requirements into concrete prohibitions, obligations, and runtime budgets, while maintaining proportional committee activation and supervisory oversight. Evidence and decisions are recorded on a permissioned DAG with deterministic timestamps, enabling replay, provenance checks, and clear attribution of failures, and clause-level legal indexing ensures portability across the DACH region and the EU.

Compliant with Local Controls, Collectively Discriminatory. A Governance Architecture for Multi-Agent AI in Regulated Finance

The paper discusses how financial institutions are increasingly using AI agents in areas such as credit, fraud, and compliance, yet current governance focuses only on individual components. It introduces ARIA, a finance‑specific reference architecture that adds six capabilities—policy specification, population‑level monitoring, bounded authority, runtime containment, adaptive policy change, and preserved human oversight—to address the gap of constitutional non‑compositionality. Two simulations demonstrate how local controls can miss collective bias and how observed‑versus‑expected monitoring can provide earlier warnings of drift.

Governing Agentic AI in FinTech

arXiv:2608. 11344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Financial institutions are delegating consequential decisions to agentic AI systems that decompose goals, coordinate models and tools, and act with little oversight.

Quantifying System-Level Harms from AI Adoption in Complex Sociotechnical Systems

The paper proposes a framework that connects structured hazard analysis, component-level testing, and probabilistic system modelling to assess system-level harms from AI in complex sociotechnical systems. It demonstrates the approach using the UK's Real Time Gross Settlement system, showing how adversarial inputs to LLM-based trading can shift AI behaviour, reduce system resilience, and increase the likelihood of cascading bank failures. The framework aims to provide a traceable pathway from model behaviour to systemic outcomes, enabling evidence-based governance of AI in critical infrastructure.

Mint-Agent: Introducing Finance-Native Agentic Foundation Models

arXiv:2608. 16386v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Financial agents must do more than recall domain knowledge: they must be both reliable, executing precise operations over grounded evidence, and executive, sustaining long-horizon research whose conclusions remain auditable.
