DESCRIPTION
The Compliance Lunch Debate, titled 'AML Meets Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrencies' will show you how AI and cryptocurrencies are transforming the fight against money laundering and help you gain clarity to make more informed decisions by finding the right balance between risks and opportunities.
The fight against money laundering is entering a new era, driven by rapid technological advancements. Artificial intelligence offers innovative tools to detect and prevent illicit activities, enhancing the speed and accuracy of AML processes. It enables advanced transaction monitoring, predictive analysis, and the automation of compliance tasks, allowing professionals to focus on complex cases. Similarly, crypto assets provide new opportunities for financing and investment, fostering innovation and enabling novel approaches to financial transactions.
At the same time, these technologies present significant challenges. Fraudsters are increasingly leveraging AI to develop more sophisticated schemes, while issues such as algorithmic biases and misuse add further complexity. On the other hand, crypto assets pose challenges for AML efforts, particularly in transaction monitoring, due to the anonymity and cross-border nature of blockchain transactions. As these technologies continue to evolve, regulators and compliance professionals must adapt to address these emerging threats while harnessing innovation to strengthen compliance frameworks.
Join us on Thursday, April 24th, in Brussels or online to engage with experts, gain actionable insights, and exchange ideas with peers and colleagues.
Participation at the Compliance Lunch Debates on 24 April is worth 1,5 points for the continuing education of Compliance Officers.
