The Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced the SAGE program and an expert
advisory group to promote the responsible development and application of
agent-based finance using AI agents in Hong Kong. Citing maturing AI-agent
technology, the HKMA said the financial sector is advancing internal adoption
while exploring how agents can make services more efficient and secure. The
authority flagged the model’s potential to alter client interaction and warned
associated risks must be managed to enable responsible deployment.
