Context Is All You Need. Audit-Proof AI for Finance

Autonomous finance is the promise of the decade, but here's what nobody pitching it will tell you: an AI agent that guesses, even brilliantly, will never survive your audit. Boards have stopped asking whether finance uses AI and started asking why the pilots haven't moved the needle. The answer is almost always trust.

In this talk, Binny Gill, founder and CEO of Kognitos, shows what audit-grade autonomy actually requires: deterministic execution instead of probabilistic guessing, and step-by-step replay of every action an agent takes. He'll make the case that when it comes to trusting AI with your ledger, context is all you need: a context graph that grounds every agent decision in your vendors, your policies, and your history, the approach Gartner recognized Kognitos for in two 2026 Hype Cycles.

He'll demonstrate it live on the workflows finance leaders care about most: touchless journal entries, zero-touch close, and AP fraud detection. You'll leave with the six-step playbook for taking your first agent from pilot to production, and the bar to hold every AI vendor to.
