Machine Learning und selbstlernende Algorithmen lassen sich in unterschiedlichsten Geschäftsbereichen einsetzen, um manuelle Prozesse zu unterstützen oder zu automatisieren. Betrugserkennung und Geldwäscheprävention bieten sich dafür an – bedürfen dabei aber besonderer Umsicht.

Questions about the regulatory regime related to the 4th and 5thEU Anti-Money Laundering (AML) directives are among the most frequent ones we have been getting this quarter.
