How far are we from the days that banks are fully operated by AI Agents?


How far are we from the days that banks are fully operated by AI Agents?

Just a few years ago, RBC, the largest bank in Canada, had me print out a web form and mail it into them to open an account.

We are a long way from the point where a bank will trust an AI agent. They are still working on trusting online forms.

We really don't need a unique "Ask HN: When will AI replace" for every product, service and profession out there.

"fully operated" meaning that the average customer can't get human service? Or meaning that there are no humans - so the AI is the one signing off on the bank's financial statements, meeting with government regulators, and negotiating with the Board's Compensation Committee?
