Compliance professionals can leverage AI in compliance investigations to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and accuracy. During this panel, we will explore both considerations and opportunities that compliance leaders should keep in mind in order to ensure responsible and effective use of AI and other technologies in compliance and compliance investigations. Discussion points during this panel will include:

  • Consumer protection legislation as AI regulation
  • Identifying specific areas of compliance where AI can add value while detecting and preventing fraud, identifying patterns of non-compliance, automating risk assessments, and streamlining regulatory reporting requirements
  • Using AI to ensure that relevant data is collected and integrated from various sources, such as internal systems, external databases, and regulatory filings, and then structured and organized to enable effective analysis
  • Benefits to consumers and financial institutions
  • The path forward for AI in the financial sector
