VENDORiQ: Google Launches Anti-Money Laundering (AML) AI Tool

Why It’s Important

Financial institutions are subject to stringent regulatory requirements to combat money laundering. Traditional methods of detecting money laundering typically rely on manual processes and rule-based systems, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. To limit the amount of human inputs and to generate more accurate results, AI-powered tools streamline the process by automating the detection and analysis of large volumes of financial data. 

Google now joins the anti-money laundering (AML) AI industry along with Dow Jones Risk & Compliance, Token of Trust and Refinitiv that enable financial institutions to perform in-depth examinations and explore various angles and factors related to the suspicious activities through AI. The flexibility offered by these analysis tools allows investigators to adapt their approaches based on the specific case requirements, leading to more comprehensive and accurate investigations. IBRS forecasts the market to grow as more banks and financial enterprises demand for better streamlined investigation processes.
