From Generative AI to Agentic Finance: Scaling Intelligent AI Platforms at CIBC

An inside look at how CIBC is scaling intelligent AI platforms from generative to agentic finance. In this session from the Big Data & Analytics Summit Canada, Chris Patterson, Head of Enterprise AI Platforms and Solutions at CIBC, shares how the bank is building its generative AI strategy and laying the groundwork for agentic AI in a highly regulated environment. Financial institutions are under growing pressure to move beyond isolated AI experiments toward enterprise-wide intelligent automation that improves decision-making, operational efficiency, and customer experience. As generative AI matures, organizations must also prepare for the next evolution: agentic AI systems capable of autonomous reasoning, orchestration, and action across complex financial workflows. Chris offers an inside look at how CIBC is prioritizing high-impact use cases and building for what comes next. Inside this talk: • Developing enterprise generative AI platforms that balance innovation, scalability, and governance requirements • Identifying high-value AI use cases across financial services operations, employee enablement, and customer engagement • Understanding how agentic AI systems could transform orchestration, workflow automation, and decision support in banking • Building governance, risk management, and oversight mechanisms for emerging autonomous AI capabilities If you work in financial services, AI strategy, enterprise platforms, or risk and governance, this is a clear look at how to accelerate responsible AI adoption while positioning for the next generation of intelligent financial operations. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ UPCOMING EVENTS 🔹 6th Annual Data Analytics for Public Sector October 21 & 22, 2026 | Old Mill Toronto Hotel 🔹 7th Annual Big Data West November 3 & 4, 2026 | Fairmont Pacific Rim, Vancouver BC 🔹 14th Annual Data Analytics for Healthcare December 8 & 9, 2026 | Old Mill Toronto Hotel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #AgenticAI #GenerativeAI #AIinBanking #FinancialServices #CIBC #EnterpriseAI #AIStrategy #BigData #IntelligentAutomation #ResponsibleAI #AIGovernance #DataAnalytics #AIinFinance #BigDataCanada
