EXPERT INSIGHT

"Financial crime compliance regulations are putting technology at the forefront: from harmonization of AI and AML regulations in the EU, collaborative regulators in Southeast Asia, and the US Treasury’s consultation on the use of AI in financial services. All of these examples have one commonality – a need to protect GDP from money laundering. AI is not the silver bullet for ensuring that regulations and risk controls keep pace with financial criminals, but, when implemented with the right data governance and explainability, it is key component in protecting global economies from the impact of financial crime".
