Governed Data as the Competitive Moat in the Agent Era - Regulation and What It Means for Markets

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.
