Apollo economist Sløk warns of a possible 'agentic bank run'
Original: Apollo's Sløk: Is an 'agentic bank run' coming?
Torsten Sløk, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, is raising the question of whether an 'agentic bank run' could emerge, in which AI agents acting on behalf of depositors move money faster than humans ever could. The idea has sparked discussion about whether automated decision-making could accelerate or amplify financial panic, and whether regulators are prepared for machine-speed withdrawals from banks.
Why now: A prominent economist is floating a novel risk at the intersection of AI and banking, prompting debate about whether autonomous agents could trigger faster financial panics.
