Highlights of the Week

→	JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says AI-related threats rose tenfold after Anthropic released Mythos: boards should treat frontier model releases as cyber risk events, not product news.
→	HSBC plans to cut up to 70% of its UK financial advisors, according to the Financial Times: AI is now a direct lever on wealth management cost bases, and every peer board will be benchmarked against it.
→	SAP is expanding into payment execution: ERP platforms are moving into the flow of money, and bank corporate portals lose a position they long took for granted.
→	JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo hold about $1.6 trillion in deposits that pay no interest: AI agents that move money quickly put the inertia behind that cheap funding at risk.
→	Meta's Muse, launched Sept. 8, can send emails, fill out forms and pay at checkout: once agents hold the payment credentials, subscription businesses face a new kind of customer retention problem.
→	OpenAI will watermark ChatGPT and Codex text in the EU to comply with the AI Act: regulation is now shaping product design, and compliance teams should expect the same from every model vendor.
→	CaixaBank has created its first AI and data division: ownership of AI is moving from project teams into the organisation chart.
