The Agentic AI in Financial Crime Conference brings together senior leaders from financial institutions, compliance and risk functions, law enforcement, and leading technology providers for a focused, practical examination of how artificial intelligence is reshaping financial crime risk management. Criminals are already using AI to scale fraud, automate attacks, and develop increasingly sophisticated methods of evasion. Institutions that fail to modernize risk defending against tomorrow’s financial crime with yesterday’s detection methods.

That reality is accelerating the need for financial institutions to adopt AI capabilities of their own. AI is no longer an emerging technology sitting on the sidelines of compliance; it is already being applied across AML, fraud, sanctions, KYC, investigations, transaction monitoring, and operational decision-making. At the same time, agentic AI is introducing a new level of autonomy, complexity, and governance risk. The question is no longer whether organizations will adopt AI, but how they can deploy it responsibly, effectively, and defensibly.

Through substantive panel discussions and case study showcases, the conference will tackle the questions financial crime leaders are being forced to answer now:

🔹 Transforming AML, KYC & ID Verification with AI: From customer onboarding and transaction monitoring to investigations and ongoing monitoring, how is AI transforming traditional financial crime workflows?

🔹 AI-Powered Fraud & Identity Protection: Deepfakes, synthetic identities, account takeovers, scams, and increasingly sophisticated fraud. How can financial institutions fight back using AI?

🔹 AI-Driven Sanctions, Export Controls & Adverse News: Exploring AI applications in sanctions screening, entity resolution, adverse media, trade activity, and complex ownership networks.

🔹 AI Governance, Model Risk & Regulatory Defensibility: Model validation, explainability, human oversight, third-party risk, and what it takes to deploy AI responsibly while satisfying regulatory expectations.

🔹 Agentic AI: From Assistants to Autonomous Workflows: We’re looking beyond copilots and traditional automation toward AI systems capable of planning, reasoning, making decisions, and executing complex financial crime workflows. How autonomous can we realistically get, and where should humans remain in control?

We’ll be bringing together BSA/AML Officers, fraud executives, sanctions specialists, regulators, law enforcement, AI engineers, data scientists, model risk experts, consultants, and technology innovators for a full day of substantive conversations and networking.

The conference is designed to move beyond high-level discussions about the future of AI. Attendees will hear directly from practitioners who are implementing, governing, testing, and overseeing these technologies in real-world environments. Expect candid conversations around governance, human oversight, model risk, explainability, validation, vendor due diligence, implementation challenges, regulatory expectations, and the practical realities of moving AI initiatives from pitch to production.

The Agentic AI in Financial Crime Conference is where financial crime, risk, compliance, and technology leaders come together to separate what is possible from what is practical—and define what responsible AI deployment should look like as the industry enters its next phase.
