"KPMG’s study also claimed that Transport for London was using AI agents 'to predict and manage congestion, personalise commuter updates and co-ordinate multimodal transport'.
A spokesperson for the transit system said the assertion was 'misleading'."
"The KPMG report claimed global wealth manager UBS 'integrates AI agents across investment advisory, risk management and compliance monitoring'…
