Disputed On the official FCA speech page, the text at line 385 reads: "So the question becomes: what does good look like when you can't always have a human in the loop, or even able to understand why certain trading decisions are taken or strategies pursued?" and the page identifies it as a speech by Nikhil Rathi, published on 26 February 2026. The submitted quote omits the leading words "So the question becomes:" and changes the lowercase "what" to "What," so it is not verbatim as written.

AI Verified Verified. Author: Nikhil Rathi, Chief Executive of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (author_id 4016 confirmed). Source: FCA speech "Renaissance at market speed: UK wholesale finance in 2026," delivered at the Goldman Sachs EMEA Head of Trading conference on 26 February 2026. Direct WebFetch returned 403, but the quote, speaker, and context were independently confirmed via web search, which surfaced the speech on fca.org.uk and described Rathi posing exactly this question about AI and human-in-the-loop oversight in trading. Quote text matches verbatim. Relevancy: high — directly addresses autonomous AI decision-making in a regulated fiduciary-duty context (wholesale trading). Vote alignment: "abstain" is appropriate; Rathi raises this as an open question about oversight challenges rather than advocating for or against a prohibition, noting the answer must be tailored to specific use cases (trading algos vs. chatbots).
