The Game On: AI vs. AI in the Financial world…
By 2027, AI managing 95% of IPO prospectus making or executing real-time trades will feel like ancient history
Come 2028, the battlefield changes. It’s no longer automation of tasks—it’s automation of judgment
Humans become spectators
The real action?
AI vs. AI, where two ultra-intelligent algorithms—each learning, adapting, and optimizing collide in real time.
What Does This New Financial World Look Like?
Let’s imagine 2028:
– The future of financial services isn’t about faster payments. It’s about who controls the flow of value
– Banks & FIs run ultra-optimized AI engines to tailor pricing, yield and risk for maximum margin—think invisible high-frequency trading applied to everything
Consumers and Corporates deploy autonomous AI co-pilots that safeguard their interests—minimizing costs, hedging risks, optimizing returns
– But users still transact through interfaces and APIs controlled by institutions so the deck is still stacked by the house.
– Even if the user’s AI is brilliant, it’s like playing poker at a table where the house deals, shuffles, and sets the odds.
Enter the Third-Party Algo: A Neutral Intelligence
– To rebalance the equation, a third force must rise—neutral, decentralized, and aligned only with the user.
This third-party agent could:
– Aggregate financial products across FIs and fintecs (true API-level arbitration)
– Run independent logic with no allegiance but to the user’s goals
– Seamlessly restructure contracts, rebalance funds, and negotiate across platforms in real time
This could manifest as:
AI middleware (Plaid × GPT × Goldman)
– Open-source personal finance agents—like fiduciary Jedi bots
– DAO-style autonomous finance logic in TradFi infrastructure
What Happens Then? A Duel of Algorithms
Once these user-first agents mature:
– FIs lose behavioral control, no longer owning how users engage
– Margin compression spikes, as smart agents dodge hidden fees and bias
A full-blown AI arms race begins—with FIs building “invisible fences” to lock users in, while autonomous agents route value elsewhere
This isn’t just Bank vs. Fintech anymore
– It’s “Institutional AI” vs. “Autonomous AI”
And the Endgame?
The world may require:
– A regulated AI arbitration layer akin to a “UN for Intelligent Agents.”
– Federated AI ethics, capital mobility frameworks and algorithmic transparency- think Basel or PSD2, but for machine-to-machine negotiation.
Because if both the house and the gambler run AI…
The entire system becomes the casino
Let’s see how it all spans out… “AI developers and designers—this is a heads-up to all of us.”
