Danske Bank A/S

So we have both an MCP server and a proxy now in full production, which means that the agent can find information, gather information, analyze it, as well as acting on that information.

And again, that's all depending on the rule set, the appetite, the adoption of the customer who is ultimately in control of their own agents and also allowing for access to the information through the Danske Bank MCP service.

And it just allows for a simpler way for discovering what's even possible with APIs.

So it is also a new distribution channel.

So that is for our corporate clients for now.

And in terms of the benefits for clients must be massive.

But I mean, I guess the benefits for Danska are huge as well, because the thing we talked about last time we spoke, how the more integrated you are with customers, I mean, the better it is.

So is this, do you see this as another way of kind of providing value, but integrating more with your customers? So it's more difficult to leave?

Nadia, I've spent most of my career right in the middle or in the intersection of banking, technology and customer experience.

I've had the pleasure and privilege of working for several international banks, including Danske Bank, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and now Nordea.

And I really had the opportunity of being part of shaping digital banking and also open banking across the last decade.

I think one of the most exciting periods when I think back was back in 2017, when I was part of launching open banking in the UK, working as Chief Digital Officer for Danske Bank in the UK.

And in January 2017, we opened up and allowed third parties to access accounts and initiate payments.

A very exciting time to see how the ecosystem developed.

why would your bank be asking you for an iTunes gift card? It does, that does not make sense.

Mom, why would Jon Bon Jovi work at Danske Bank? Why would he, like, I know you love his music.

I know this, the man on the phone, I'm sure he sounds really, really charming.

Yeah.

Because it is about time that these extremely rich, extremely evil people understand that they're no longer going to get away with the shit that they've been getting away with for all of these years.

Deutsche Bank moved millions of dollars across the globe for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the past decade, and billions on behalf of international lenders Danske Bank AS and FBME Bank Limited along the way.

The German bank missed or disregarded compliance red flags for years.

New York's Department of Financial Services said Tuesday in levying $150 million in penalties.

The chief executive, C.S. Venkatakrishnan, said more investment in artificial intelligence, which he described as the icing on the cake, would drive efficiencies.

HSBC and Danske Bank have also flagged AI-related job cuts this year.

Standard Chartered plans to close 7,000 roles over the next four years.

But Professor Peter Hahn, emeritus professor at the London Institute of Banking and Finance, says the adoption of AI may not lead to mass job cuts across the industry.

So everything we do when you think about productivity is about how we can save time, how we can reinvest and grow the business.

We are excited to speak with Karsten Egeris, CEO of Danske Bank.

Karsten has an incredible grasp of technology, which has shaped his human-centric agile leadership approach and how he's accelerated the AI transformation at Danske Bank.

As a technology leader, he spent a lot of time to understand the technology himself, to drive forward both the technology and the people aspects of his business forward.

I think that's really interesting.

What do the following companies have in common? Advertising and PR company WPP.

Schneider Electric, the energy tech company, pharma companies Merck and Novo Nordisk, the German railroad operator Deutsche Bahn, Royal Caribbean Group, the French tire manufacturer Michelin, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, UK insurance company Aviva, Danske Bank from Denmark, PwC, Deloitte, Accenture, SAP, Dell, Deutsche Telekom, and the United Nations.

Hmm.

I would suspect, Martin, you're going to point out that they all have recently appointed chief AI officers.
