Top Lessons from Deploying AI Agents in Banking (Mo Jamous)
Episode 1
Friday, 23 January, 2026
Imagine shrinking a one-hour code review to under ten minutes—and using that same agentic approach to boost sales, reduce fraud, and make branch and call‑center staff far more productive.In this episode, Andreas Welsch interviews Mo Jamous, CIO at U.S. Bank, who has taken agentic AI from experiments into real production at a major financial institution. Mo walks through what worked, what surprised him, and the practical guardrails banks (and other regulated companies) need to adopt agents safely and effectively.Episode highlights:A clear three‑bucket strategy: persona‑driven productivity, revenue/growth use cases, and operational excellence (fraud, security, DevOps, resilience).A concrete win: an agentic code‑review tool built in weeks that reduced review time from ~1 hour to <10 minutes and scaled to hundreds of thousands of reviews per year.How to instrument agents for measurement: attach metadata to agents, count executions, and map successful runs to dollar or productivity impact so you can report ROI.People, process, platform: upskill teams with hackathons and brown‑bags, put a governance council (risk, security, compliance) in place, and build an orchestration/registry layer to track many agent implementations.Common pitfalls: getting stuck on “one tool” decisions, underestimating change management and adoption, and failing to bake monitoring and guardrails into deployments.Practical starting advice: pick high‑value, low‑complexity pilots (e.g., developer or call‑center assistants), measure outcomes from day one, and scale using an observability dashboard rather than betting on a single vendor.Who should listen: business and tech leaders who want actionable guidance for moving beyond demos and into production-ready agentic AI that creates measurable business outcomes.Want step‑by‑step lessons from an operator who’s done it?
