Operationalising AI for Financial Crime Prevention
Operationalising AI for Financial Crime Prevention
Partner Event of Global RegTech Summit
Presented by FinTech Global & Baringa | 19 May, 17:30 to 20:00

AI for financial crime compliance is no longer hype or a pilot exercise.
For leading organisations, it is becoming a core component of modern financial-crime controls, and the challenge has moved from experimentation to disciplined operationalisation.
As firms scale AI-driven analytics, triage, and agentic workflows across transaction monitoring, sanctions, KYC, and crypto-related risks, the key questions for compliance, risk, and financial-crime leaders increasingly centre on integration, governance, and accountability.
At the same time, expectations around AI governance are rising. Firms deploying AI across KYC, transaction monitoring, sanctions, alert triage, and investigations must be able to show that these controls are explainable, well-governed, and resilient as risks and supervisory expectations evolve.
Newer risk domains are adding further pressure. Digital assets are already testing whether existing control frameworks can respond to faster-moving, more complex value flows and new typologies, while longer-term developments such as quantum are prompting earlier thinking about resilience, data integrity, and future-readiness.
This session will explore what credible AI governance looks like in practice, how to avoid common pitfalls seen in early deployments, and what it takes to move AI from promising pilot to resilient, production-grade capability
What we'll explore
- Moving AI from ambition to production in financial crime controls — common pitfalls and lessons learned
- How rising AI governance expectations are shaping the use of AI in financial crime controls
- Preparing financial crime control environments for emerging risks, including digital assets and longer-term technology developments such as quantum computing
