AI agents are already shaping execution decisions in regulated markets, but the industry still has no agreed way to identify them, authorise them or trace what they did.

Matthew Cheung, CEO of ipushpull, speaks to Rebecca Healey, Managing Partner of Redlap Consulting and author of the Mindful Markets newsletter. Rebecca co-chairs the FIX EMEA and FIX AI Working Groups, sits on the FCA and ESMA Secondary Markets Advisory Committees, and was Credit Suisse's first registered electronic trader for European cash equities.

The conversation covers the case for a verified legal entity identifier attached to every agent, why "know your agent" has to sit alongside know your customer, and why one-and-done model testing no longer survives contact with agentic workflows.

Rebecca also explains why FIX tag 527 is interpreted differently across sell side firms, what happens to MCP the moment a message leaves the building, and what the Mythos withdrawal exposed about operational resilience when a frontier model can disappear in days.

Discussed in this episode

  • No LEI, no agent: linking agent identity to the firm's legal entity identifier
  • KYA instead of KYC: intent, guardrails and the deterministic control envelope
  • Runtime governance versus annual model risk sign-off
  • Where FIX, ISO TC68, MCP, A2A and FIDO each fit
  • Sovereign AI, Chinese open-source models and business continuity
  • Why the trader's job gets more complex rather than disappearing

Knowledge graphs have gone from a niche data architecture concern to the thing every boardroom is suddenly asking about. Tony Seale, known across LinkedIn as the Knowledge Graph Guy, has been making the case for over a decade, first at Deutsche Bank and then as the architect of the UBS knowledge graph.

In this episode he talks to David Jones, co-founder and CTO of ipushpull, about why relational databases lose the nuance that matters, what an ontology actually is once you strip away the mystique, and why large language models swing from expert to useless the moment they step outside their training distribution.

Tony explains the neural symbolic loop: LLMs now remove roughly 80% of the effort of building a knowledge graph, and the graph in turn gives the model an internal, verifiable structure to reason over. He is blunt about the limits. There is no AI fairy. The work is still hard, and the organizations that put it off are the ones that will struggle in what he calls phase three, the agentic web, where data moves across organizational boundaries on open standards.

Also covered: why your out-of-distribution data is the only thing left that is worth anything, why distributed identifiers and open standards are unavoidable, and why "context graph" and "agent memory" are mostly rebrands of work that has 30 years of research behind it.

In this episode of the ipushpull Capital Markets FinTech Forum podcast, Matthew Cheung sits down with Dr. Paul Dongha, Head of Responsible AI and AI Strategy at NatWest Group, to unpack what agentic AI actually means for banking, and why governance is what decides whether AI scales or stalls.

Paul has been thinking about AI agents since before most people had heard the term. He finished his PhD on AI agent reasoning and the alignment problem back in the 1990s, then spent almost three decades putting it to work inside seven banks.

Today he leads NatWest's efforts to deploy AI in a way that's safe, transparent, and auditable, and he leads the bank's collaboration with the FCA, where he's live testing agentic AI. Before NatWest he was Group Head of Data and AI Ethics at Lloyds. He's also co-author of Governing the Machine, How to Navigate the Risks of AI and Unlock Its True Potential, an FT book of the month, and he's about to launch a new course called Responsible AI in Practice.

In our conversation, we covered:

  • Why AI governance is the unlock for scaling AI, not a compliance burden
  • Why LLMs will become commodities, and the browser war that proves it
    The levels of autonomy, from human in control to on the loop
  • The alignment problem he studied in the 1990s, still unsolved today
  • Using customer data to bring back the bank manager who actually knew you
  • Why agents should be treated as tools, not given employee logins
  • MCP as a base layer, and the governance checks still missing
  • How the EU AI Act and FCA consumer duty fit what firms were doing anyway
  • Why AI literacy matters most, and taking the hype with a pinch of salt

The EU AI Act isn't GDPR. It's product safety law.

In this episode of the ipushpull Capital Markets FinTech Forum podcast, Matthew Cheung sits down with Rosie Nance, Senior Knowledge Lawyer at Norton Rose Fulbright, to unpack what the EU AI Act actually is, how it sits alongside existing regulation, and what the rise of agentic AI means for financial services firms operating across the UK, EU, and US.

Rosie is part of Norton Rose Fulbright's data, cyber, and AI regulation team, advising financial services clients on AI Act compliance, specific use case rollouts, and the wider governance programmes needed to navigate a fast-moving regulatory landscape. She shares how firms should be thinking about provider vs deployer roles, high-risk use cases, and the multi-stakeholder effort now required to ship AI responsibly.

In our conversation, we covered:

  • EU AI Act as a product safety framework
  • High risk AI use cases in finance
  • Data governance and audit trails for AI
  • Regulatory landscape across regions

Data is the real moat. Frontier models are becoming a commodity.

In this episode of the ipushpull Capital Markets FinTech Forum podcast, Matthew Cheung sits down with Alvin Wang Graylin, Digital Fellow at the Stanford Digital Economy Lab and co-author of The Enterprise AI Playbook: Lessons from 51 Successful Deployments

With over 35 years of experience across AI, semiconductors, immersive computing, and cybersecurity at HTC, Intel, IBM, and Trend Micro, four founded startups, and investments in 100+ early-stage firms, Alvin shares the findings from a five-month Stanford study of 51 enterprise AI deployments across 41 organisations and 9 industries on how AI is actually being adopted inside large organisations.

In our conversation, we covered:

  • Why MIT's "95% AI failure" headline collapsed under deeper methodology
  • Why data, not model choice, is the durable enterprise moat
  • The productivity gap between full automation and human-in-the-loop
  • Why two-thirds of successful AI rollouts started as failures
  • Why HR, legal, and compliance are the biggest internal blockers to enterprise AI

Live data drives decision-making in financial markets. Traditionally, traders, brokers and data services firms have taken a tactical approach to their live data sharing requirements, connecting systems with in-house development projects, often combined with off-the-shelf technologies not designed for reliable live data sharing across teams and locations.

Excel is ubiquitous with a presence on every desktop in financial services and, therefore, should be considered as part of a digital and platform strategy to enhance the client experience by delivering data to clients in a format they can easily use. Using cloud technologies and open-source standards, Excel can be made extensible and interoperable with other services and apps on the desktop and cloud.

Hear from Julien Dugat, Fixed Income Execution Platforms & Digital Sales at NatWest Markets and Bradley McNee, Product Manager for EMEA Rates Global Broking at TP ICAP in a roundtable discussion with Matthew Cheung, CEO of ipushpull. Both will share their experience delivering live data to teams and clients by leveraging existing technology infrastructure such as Excel and other application channels. We will explore the key use cases for trading and broking firms and the benefits on offer.
