AI in Financial Crime Compliance: Myths, Realities, and Regulatory Readiness

24th September 2025, 3pm to 4pm (CEST)

As artificial intelligence transforms industries, financial institutions remain cautious, particularly in areas as sensitive as financial crime compliance (FCC). While AI holds transformative potential for AML and sanctions programs, its adoption is slowed by lingering myths, regulatory ambiguity, and concerns over explainability and control.

Join this webinar to cut through the noise as industry experts address these challenges head-on and share regulator-accepted, real-world use cases. You’ll gain practical insight into how leading banks are operationalising AI, safely, strategically, and at scale.

Speaking in this session is Patrick Kirwin, Head of Product Management at Silent Eight. With nearly two decades of experience in financial crime strategy across North America and Southeast Asia, Patrick brings both a practitioner’s perspective and a product innovation mindset. Formerly Director of Innovation at Standard Chartered’s FCC function, he now leads the development of Silent Eight’s AI-driven compliance solutions—built to meet the demands of today’s complex regulatory landscape.

This is more than a tech talk. It’s a first-hand look at how AI is already reshaping FCC programs with confidence and control.
