11、 of a computer system to emulate human-like cognitive abilities such as learning and problem-solving.Although AI has been receiving significant attention recently because of relatively new technologies like large language models(LLMs),AI as a scientific domain is not inherently new.The foundational
12、concepts of AI began appearing in scientific literature in the 1940s and the actual term“Artificial Intelligence”was coined in 1955 by Stanford Professor Emeritus John McCarthy.Elements of AI such as machine learning(referring to the ability of algorithms and statistical models to learn and adapt wi

18、quiries,and predict customer demand and drive dynamic pricing decisions.Generative AI,or Gen AI,is a subset of AI that focuses on“generating”new content such as images,audio,video,text,code or even 3D models that are original and not just a variation of existing data.Despite its increased functional
19、ity,Gen AI is considered Narrow AI because it operates under far more limitations than even the most basic human intelligence.Large language models(LLMs)are a type of generative AI trained on vast amounts of data with a large number of parameters that generate novel text-based responses.Today there
20、are a number of proprietary LLMs built/developed by third parties with a conversational interface(e.g.,ChatGPT developed by OpenAI),accelerating user interactivity and ease of adoption.2 K.W.Kindle,R.S.Cann,M.R.Craig,and T.J.Martin,“PFPS Personal Financial Planning System AAAI,”(Proceedings of the E

27、d services.Transactions may be facilitated by front companies that appear to sell legitimate goods and services but are set up by money launderers to provide cover for their illegitimate activities,pass-thru companies set up by third parties and used by one or more criminals,or funnel accounts in wh

32、SSONS&INSIGHTSTERMINOLOGYAPPLICATIONRISKSBEFORE YOU STARTEXAMPLESHOW PROTIVITI CAN HELPAPPENDICESOrganizations with financial crime compliance obligations have made and continue to make massive investments in technology and talent to support their compliance efforts.Empirical evidence however sugges
33、ts that the level of investment is not,in many cases,supported by results/success metrics.For example,the global spend by banks in 2022 to combat money laundering is estimated at$274.1 billion,yet a study by the United Nations Office of Drug and Crimes suggests“much less than one percent(probably ar
34、ound 0.2 percent)”of the proceeds of crime laundered via the global financial system are seized and frozen.4While publicly-available information on the financial crime compliance spend by e-commerce companies and its correlation to the ability to identify financial crime is more difficult to obtain
35、given the relative newness of the industry,there is no doubt that the rapid growth of e-commerce has given rise to a surge in transaction laundering.While the exact scale of transaction laundering is difficult to quantify,in 2017 one industry observer suggested that the global volume of transaction
36、laundering exceeded$350 billion.That number has likely grown significantly by now.One obvious reason for companies to adopt AI in their financial crime compliance programs is to exploit its analytical(insight generation)and predictive capabilities(foresight of emerging risks)to target potentially il
37、licit activity more accurately and conversely,eliminate the“noise”in companies transaction monitoring systems while generating“signals.”Another reason companies are interested in adopting AI to combat financial crime is the desire and need to keep up with the criminals,whose methods are becoming inc
38、reasingly sophisticated and crafty.Criminals have become early adopters of new technologies,including AI,and exploit them fully to serve their nefarious purposes.Organizations therefore are viewing the adoption of AI tools and capabilities as necessary to level(at least somewhat)the playing field th
39、at has become an“arms race”of sorts.A third motivating reason for regulated companies to use AI in their financial crime compliance programs is that regulators themselves are increasingly deploying AI.Institutions that rely solely on traditional methods for managing their financial crime programs ma
40、y therefore not detect issues that their regulators identify.The level of adoption and the maturity of an institutions AI program may prove to be a key differentiating factor,making some institutions more or less susceptible to being used as an“easy target”for facilitating financial crime.4 Elisabet

42、.* makes AI interesting to companies with financial crime compliance obligations?|FAQ on the Use of AI for Financial Crime Compliance|7LESSONS&INSIGHTSTERMINOLOGYAPPLICATIONRISKSBEFORE YOU STARTEXAMPLESHOW PROTIVITI CAN HELPAPPENDICESThe potential benefits to the use of AI can be grouped into two br
43、oad categories:1)advanced analytical capabilities and 2)elimination of routine tasks.Examples include:Advanced Analytical Capabilities:AI systems can analyze in high velocity massive amounts of transactional data as well as various types of data(e.g.,structured/semi-structured/unstructured)to identi
44、fy unusual patterns or behaviors that may indicate potential financial crimes and over time can minimize false positives.AI can support the development and maintenance of dynamic financial crime risk assessments,which afford the opportunity to monitor continuously for changes in a risk profile.AI ca
45、n forecast areas of potential/emerging risks before such materialize.AI algorithms can detect anomalies and outliers in datasets,i.e.not only uncover the known-knowns and known-unknowns,but the unknown-unknowns.AI can prioritize areas for review based on an analysis of the attendant risks.Eliminatio
46、n of Routine Tasks:AI can identify and summarize regulatory requirements to aid in the training and upskilling of financial crime personnel.AI tools can be used to automate customer due diligence and negative news screening processes.AI can generate requests for information(RFIs)where an analyst or
47、investigator needs more information to understand customer activity.AI can generate narratives evidencing the review of suspicious activity.AI can generate regulatory filings/reports.07How can AI improve the efficiency and effectiveness of financial crime compliance?The use of AI by financial servic
48、es and e-commerce companies offers the possibility of reducing customer friction.Financial services companies,including e-commerce companies registered as money services businesses,spend considerable time updating customer profiles and investigating potentially suspicious activity,both of which ofte
49、n involve direct customer outreach.With the improved capabilities offered by AI to develop and maintain dynamic customer profiles and better target potentially suspicious activity,there should be a reduction in company outreach,which is often viewed as intrusive.This should empower positive customer

51、RMINOLOGYAPPLICATIONRISKSBEFORE YOU STARTEXAMPLESHOW PROTIVITI CAN HELPAPPENDICESAI has a number of applications when it comes to detection of fraud stemming from customer identity compromise.An ever-increasing threat vector faced by both FSI and e-commerce enterprises is account take over(ATO).ATO
52、results from a customers data/account being compromised,which can originate from a variety of sources social engineering,phishing,vishing,smishing,data leaks(both within and outside the enterprise),etc.It negatively affects customers and enterprises alike,and such effects have both tangible/financia
53、l ramifications,as well as intangible/reputational harm dimensions.Additionally,deploying traditional/static controls(e.g.,multi-factor authentication)as defense mechanisms for managing the customers identity can yield only partial benefits,while also bringing customer friction and negatively impact
54、ing client experience.Enter AI,which can aid customer authentication while simultaneously helping identify suspicious activity related to ATO.Through the use of AI and machine learning,analytical principles such as Social Network Analysis(SNA)and Link Analysis can be readily deployed in identifying
55、nefarious behavior/activity.SNA is the process of investigating social structures through use of networks and graph theory.Networked structures are characterized in terms of nodes(e.g.,individual actors,people,or things within the network),and the associative ties/linkages that connect them(e.g.,rel
56、ationships or interactions).Similarly,link analysis is a data-analysis technique used to evaluate connections between nodes.Relationships may be identified among various types of objects,including organizations,people and transactions.AI empowers the use of such approaches given its ability to inges
57、t a massive amount of structured/unstructured data and metadata(e.g.,transactional,behavioral,“digital fingerprint”/device data,geolocation,etc.)and in real-time/near-real time develop anomaly detection and behavioral algorithms which in turn helps organizations in their identity assurance efforts a
58、nd to uncover“unknown-unknowns,”all while protecting their customers and reputation.09What are additional applications of AI when it comes to customer identity assurance and detecting account take over?|FAQ on the Use of AI for Financial Crime Compliance|9LESSONS&INSIGHTSTERMINOLOGYAPPLICATIONRISKSB
59、EFORE YOU STARTEXAMPLESHOW PROTIVITI CAN HELPAPPENDICESThe use of AI carries some of the same inherent risks that financial institutions already face,such as protecting the privacy and security of the data used and relying on incomplete or inaccurate data to form judgments,although it can be argued
60、that the use/misuse of AI exacerbates these risks.AI also poses the following risks,among others:Ethical considerations/fairness/bias:If the data used to train an AI system contains embedded biases,while unintended,the AI may replicate or even amplify these biases in its outputs,leading to inaccurat
61、e,unfair or discriminatory decisions.Lack of transparency,interpretability and explainability:Some AI models,particularly those based on deep learning,function as“black boxes”that provide little insight into how they make decisions;this raises questions about whether the developers and users of thes
62、e models actually know what the models are doing,and also complicates efforts to validate and modify the models given such opacity.Evolving regulatory frameworks:Because AI policy is being developed at the local,national and regional levels and there is no global AI“policy,”inclusive of legal framew
63、orks,ethical standards and principles,the risk exists that a companys decision to deploy AI,while made in good faith based on available guidance,may subsequently be determined to fall outside of acceptable parameters/norms/guidance.Regulator acceptance:In part related to lack of transparency,regulat
64、ors may have concerns about the use of AI by financial institutions,putting a firm on the defensive to prove that AI produces better results than the methodologies and more“traditional”tools previously deployed.Trustworthiness:A famous mathematician(George Box)once stated:“All models are wrong,some
65、are useful.”5 While Gen AI models are generally trained on vast data sets,they may present incorrect or misleading results(such as“hallucinations”)as fact for a number of reasons,including bad training data and bad assumptions.In addition,given their inherent design,these models can produce differen
66、t results with each iteration and are not subject to traditional methods of model validation(such as replication,as per above stated rationale).Over-reliability on technology and lack of“human-in-the-loop”factor:There may be a tendency to defer to the technology and overlook the continued importance
67、 of human oversight and supervision.Impact on the workforce:AI raises concerns about job loss from an employee perspective,and concerns about obtaining new competencies/upskilling the existing workforce from an employer perspective.On a more philosophical note,and not specific to the financial servi
68、ces industry,AI raises an existential risk that artificial general intelligence(AGI)surpasses human intelligence.6Apart from existential risk which cannot be managed by an individual company,the lynchpin of an institutions AI risk management program should be its own AI Use Policy.(See Question 12 b

70、E YOU STARTEXAMPLESHOW PROTIVITI CAN HELPAPPENDICESAmong the key questions institutions should ask when considering the deployment of AI are the following:Do we have a specific problem/use case we are trying to solve,and can AI solve it?Without a clearly articulated goal and objectives,the risk is h
71、igh that AI deployment will be unsuccessful.Should we buy,build or“borrow”an AI solution?Determining whether an institution should“buy or build”should include due diligence on commercially available options,and consideration of in-house expertise/resourcing,extent of customization needed,cost,data s
72、ecurity and privacy,scalability,opacity/transparency of the solution,and time to market.These are fundamentally the same factors that apply to any technology“buy or build”decisioning,although in the case of AI“borrow”becomes a relevant approach by starting with foundational models and AI capabilitie
73、s available through hyper-scalers and tuning them to a specific use case.Do we have the skillsets,competencies,talent/resource know-how and cadre experience to manage the AI implementation internally,or do we need to engage outside assistance?In addition to basic problem-solving and change managemen
74、t skills,AI implementation,depending on its nature,may require a number of specialized skills including programming languages,data modelling,data warehousing and data processing,understanding of machine learning,advanced analytics,data science,and knowledge of intelligent user interfaces(IUIs).Do we
75、 have the data we need to train AI models?Although some AI tools may use publicly-sourced information,many need a sufficient amount of reliable and relevant internal data to learn.Without adequate data,the proverbial“garbage in,garbage out”still rings true.While many enterprises are“data rich,”the d
76、ata still needs to be easily“consumed”(e.g.,centralized,complete,in good hygiene,etc.)to be usable.Have we considered the challenges and costs of accessing the data we need?Data ingress/egress is expensive across multiple clouds;ideally AI models are co-located architecturally with the needed data.D
77、oes the potential benefit of the AI justify the cost?Alongside of the costs of AI implementation itself,it is important to identify the key performance indicators(KPIs)that will be used to measure results and assess the effectiveness of your AI initiatives.(More on this below).Does the planned imple
