AML has been running on the same playbook for ages. In the last few years, AI changed the rules. Criminals now use AI to launder money at scale, faster and more adaptively than traditional systems can handle, while regulation and supervisory expectations keep tightening. If we keep defending with yesterday’s tools, we will fall behind.

AML teams do not need to be “perfectly ready” to begin. AI readiness is a capability you build over time. It requires more than technology. It needs the right skills, awareness, governance, processes, and expertise across the organisation to scale safely and effectively.

Start now, build readiness fast, and stay ahead of what comes next in AML.
