Sharing a breakdown of automated AML for banks that I wrote with (a lot of) help from our in-house financial services guru Geoff Hutton. 🙏
Written to help AML Systems Leads, Programme Directors, Project Managers, Transformation Managers at banks (and their wider teams) get to know more about the intelligent automation platform approach to automated AML.

Insightful article from Wayne Butterfield at ISG.
"Once you start your journey towards using robotic process automation (RPA), you see that the automation you use – while helpful – isn’t intelligent."

This caught my eye on Twitter—an interesting point of view from a machine learning thought leader.
It doesn't really matter what machine learning technique you use; a solution that doesn't require machine learning is probably always better.

The UK gov's Office for Artificial Intelligence and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport has published a new report (prepared by EY): "Data foundations and AI adoption in the UK private and third sectors". They surveyed almost 400 firms and conducted 26 interviews with business leaders in organisations that vary by industry/size/location. The report shows how AI adoption varies by sector.
Here are some key findings:
- 90% of organisations have either a data strategy or data-related initiatives
- data foundations have been widely adopted, albeit slightly less so in third sector
- the 2 biggest challenges to data foundation adoption are existing infrastructure and lack of skilled personnel
- 27% of organisations have implemented AI
- 38% of organisations are getting ready to implement AI
- 33% of organisations have not adopted AI/don't plan to
- in the private sector, 90% of large organisations plan to or have adopted AI
- you're more likely to have adopted AI if you are in the finance sector, if you are a large organisation and you are less than 10 years old

A new thought-provoking article from Andrew Ng (former head of Google Brain) was published in HBR last week.
One of the most interesting points for me was where he argues that businesses should take a "data-centric mindset" and let subject matter experts (SMEs) be in charge of creating AI systems.

There's a new article in Forbes by Pascal Bornet — some big numbers and claims, but interesting nonetheless.
He says intelligent automation could save around $10trn per year (assuming 100% effectiveness) — that's 1/2 of US GDP.
Some key points:
- IA is best placed to mitigate 3 types of losses: 1. fraud/financial crime 2. mistakes 3. employee accident/illness
- IA could save $5trn in fraud losses
- IA could save $1.068 in error losses
- IA could save $3trn in accident/illness losses
