A new benchmark called Fiducia-bench has been developed to evaluate the governability of financial AI agents, specifically their adherence to policies like Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML). The research indicates that decomposing an AI agent into smaller components can significantly degrade its policy compliance. This degradation occurs because facts relevant to policy decisions are attenuated at the boundary between components, leading to issues like under-escalation or over-escalation of actions. The study found that a 32B open-weights model lost up to 85% of discovered facts in a decomposed architecture, while a more capable GPT-4.1 mini model showed less severe attenuation, suggesting model capability plays a role in mitigating these governance costs.
