Overview

AI adoption in financial services is accelerating – but so too is its exploitation by criminals. From AI-generated deepfakes and forged documents to synthetic identities and automated money-laundering networks, bad actors are leveraging emerging technologies to stay one step ahead. The result is a high-stakes game of cat and mouse between financial institutions and the criminals they’re trying to stop.

Financial institutions are increasingly turning to AI-driven client screening and transaction monitoring tools to close that gap – detecting suspicious patterns, enhancing due diligence, and improving response times.

Yet, as AI becomes both a weapon and a shield in financial crime, firms must ensure robust governance frameworks to prevent bias, maintain explainability, and uphold compliance standards. As regulators like the FCA encourage innovation through initiatives such as the AI Sandbox and AI Lab, financial institutions face a dual challenge: deploying AI responsibly while preventing its misuse.

This session examines real-world examples of AI in both compliance and criminal exploitation, exploring how financial institutions can strengthen their defences while staying ahead in an ever-evolving regulatory landscape.

Takeaways:

• Learn about the latest AI threats in the financial services industry
• Learn from real-world applications of AI in compliance and financial crime prevention
• Learn how to stay ahead in the evolving battle between innovation and exploitation
• Discover use cases for how AI is reshaping client screening and transaction monitoring
