MAS Sets Safeguards Framework for AI Agents in Finance #
The Monetary Authority of Singapore has published an industry-developed framework for the use of AI agents in financial services. The paper, titled Safeguards for Agentic Finance at Runtime, sets out how firms can embed controls into live system operations as AI agents take on more autonomous tasks
The framework focuses on policy-bound execution, real-time validation, auditability and interoperability. The move matters because AI agents can act at speeds where direct human intervention may not be practical, making runtime controls and clear operating boundaries increasingly important for financial institutions.
