For financial institutions, a core opportunity to apply AI is within anti-money laundering (AML) and “know your customer” (KYC) areas of the business. While banks have received incredible benefit by applying AI to monitoring fraudulent transactions, significant opportunities in fighting financial crime lie with automating the highly manual aspects of AML and KYC. Processes such as negative news, beneficial ownership trees, and company entities require the ability to both address highly variable unstructured datasets and provide enterprise controls to ensure quality and provide transparency in to each step of the process.
AI-powered RPA provides a powerful approach for banks to achieve benefits from automation without sacrificing auditability and traceability. Unlike traditional RPA, which focuses on rules-based aspects of interacting with user interfaces, AI-driven RPA greatly extends the capability into decisions on the highly unstructured data such as news articles.
Kyle Hoback walks you through a series of case studies that utilize AI-powered RPA that address AML and KYC.
