• Example Tool: Talend

2. Risk Assessment

2.1 Customer Risk Profiling

Implement AI algorithms to analyze customer profiles and assign risk ratings based on various factors, including:

• Transaction patterns
• Geographic location
• Type of business activity

2.2 Transaction Monitoring

Deploy machine learning models to monitor transactions in real-time, identifying anomalies and potential red flags.

• Example Tool: Actimize
• Example Tool: SAS Anti-Money Laundering

3. Alert Generation

3.1 Anomaly Detection

Utilize AI-driven systems to generate alerts for suspicious activities based on predefined thresholds and learned behavior.

3.2 Alert Prioritization

Implement AI to prioritize alerts based on risk levels and potential impact, ensuring compliance teams focus on high-risk cases first.

4. Investigation

4.1 Automated Case Management

Use AI tools to automate the case management process, tracking investigations and documenting findings efficiently.

• Example Tool: Amlify
• Example Tool: ComplyAdvantage

4.2 Human Oversight
