Description

AI and big data may help both to make anti-money laundering (AML) processes more effective, and at the same time minimise financial exclusion, to the benefit of business, regulators, and people who are otherwise unnecessarily denied access to the financial system. But rather than promote financial inclusion, some worry that the opposite could result if regulators fall behind or if regulated persons, institutions and providers fail to realise the potential of new, technology-driven approaches.

Bringing together experts from across the legal, banking and technology disciplines, this seminar will address the following issues:

  • Policy issues related to the introduction of AI as a tool of financial crime prevention. In particular, are AI technologies an acceptable means of financial crime detection and prevention? Can they make a real contribution to the policy goal of financial inclusion?
  • RegTech and present-day regulations. How adequate is the existing AML framework, currently founded on the responsibility of banks and their employees to identify and report suspicious activities? When technologies aimed at facilitating regulatory compliance (RegTech) can see so much, does our reliance on it risk missing human elements? When RegTech can see so much, does our reliance on it risk finding so much that it creates an undue appearance of non-compliance? How do we manage the risk of RegTech generating false positives that aggravate rather than resolve the problem of financial exclusion?
  • Legal and technological practicalities of the implementation of AI-based solutions in the domain of financial crime prevention. How can accountability be ensured based on the operation of AI algorithms? From a lawyer’s perspective, to what extent does the UK AML framework facilitate reliance on AI technologies for financial crime detection, especially those developed by the RegTech industries, rather than in-house by financial institutions?
  • Real world examples. Leading experts in AML/CFT and in AI generally will give their personal insights into the issues that this subject raises, and will discuss real world examples about the strategies and tactics that may work for setting up and operating appropriate compliance operations to respond to existing problems and inoculate systems against future ones.

The event will take place at 5.15 pm on 15 May 2018 at the Graduate Centre at Queen Mary University of London.

This seminar also marks the publication of the 2nd edition of Banks and Financial Crime: The International Law of Tainted Money edited by Sir William Blair, Richard Brent QC, and Dr Tom Grant, with a distinguished team of authors, published by the Oxford University Press.

The seminar is hosted by the Criminal Justice Centre (CJC) at Queen Mary University of London with the support of the Centre’s Co-Director and Head of the Department of Law, Professor Valsamis Mitsilegas. The CJC provides a platform for discussion of all aspects of criminal justice with a particular focus on facilitating the exchange of views between academics, practitioners, and policy-makers. The list of past events organised by the CJC is available at http://www.law.qmul.ac.uk/research/centres/cjc/events/. The organisers also thank McKool Smith LLP for its generous support.
