AI & New Technologies: Transforming Financial Crime Compliance

This session will examine how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are increasingly being exploited to facilitate financial crime. It will explore how tools such as generative AI, deepfakes, automated bots, and advanced data analytics are enabling more sophisticated fraud schemes, identity theft, social engineering attacks, and money laundering techniques at scale.

Participants will gain insight into evolving threat typologies, real-world examples of technology-enabled financial crime, and the ways criminal networks are leveraging innovation faster than traditional risk frameworks can adapt. The session will also consider the implications for financial institutions, including emerging vulnerabilities, risk exposure, and the need to rethink detection and prevention strategies in an increasingly tech-driven threat landscape.
