## Summary

EvoluteIQ co-founder and CSO Deepak Kinger describes how the company's agentic AI platform aims to shift banks from project-based regulatory responses to a permanent operating capability. Drawing on the 2020 LIBOR transition and upcoming FinCEN AML/CFT changes, Kinger argues that regulatory change now spans legal, compliance, risk, operations and technology teams, requiring an integrated platform that combines AI interpretation, deterministic rules and human oversight. He warns that agentic AI fails quietly with plausible but wrong outputs, making grounding in enterprise context and audit trails essential. Kinger says autonomy will arrive in stages — detection, triage and impact mapping first — with judgment on ambiguous rules staying with humans. Regulators would need to publish rules in structured, versioned formats, and systems must have reversibility and kill switches. EvoluteIQ raised a $53 million minority growth investment led by Baird Capital in 2025 to support global expansion and Bengaluru R&D.

## Key points

- Kinger says banks must treat regulatory change as a continuous operating capability, not a series of projects
- Agentic AI can interpret regulations and orchestrate workflows but needs deterministic rules and human escalation points
- EvoluteIQ raised $53M from Baird Capital in 2025 for global expansion and Bengaluru R&D

## Why it matters

Shows how agentic AI is being positioned for high-stakes compliance work where hallucinations are unacceptable and audit trails are mandatory.
