In an interview with The Banker (“The ‘Uncomfortable Fiction’ of AI Agent Compliance,” April 15, 2026), partner Michelle Kirschner discusses the “uncomfortable fiction” of liability for AI decisions in the U.K., which holds (human) senior managers responsible. “We are holding a person accountable for a decision they did not make, may not have foreseen and potentially could not have prevented,” she says.

The Banker’s in-depth feature looks at how banks using AI agents for operational tasks face risks due to the lack of a compliance framework governing what happens when AI causes a financial loss, as well as how that risk sharpens when it comes to cross-border activity.
