What will the AML team of the future look like? We’ll explore how AI is rewriting the rulebook and how we can gear up to stay one step ahead in an ever-shifting global financial landscape.

Agenda for the Evening:

• Keynote with Thomas Seltzer: AI development is moving at breakneck speed. Finding it hard to keep up? We’re taking a deep dive: Is this a benevolent "Giga-brain" for the good of society, or a destructive "Death Star"?

• Live Recording of The Laundry Podcast: We’ve invited some of the sharpest, most outspoken voices to join an expert panel on how the industry is handling mounting global pressure. Panellists include: Eirik Furuseth, Gøran Skaalmo, Kristin Nordland Brattli, and Thomas Osinga,

We’ll also be serving pizza and drinks throughout the night.

Plus, get an exclusive first look at the next generation of AML tools from Strise and Signicat. What will the future workspace look like? And what role will intelligent agents play in our daily workflows?

Admission is free, but because we’re hosting this at SALT, space is limited.

We would love to see you there!

Now, it’s being reported that the US is considering a new wave of sanctions on Russia’s financial enablers – looking at secondary countries acting as middle men.

Trump also wants to see more action from the EU – demanding trade tariffs on India and China as well as a quicker end to the EU importing Russian energy.

All of this goes to show that cutting one country out of the financial system is NOT. EASY. AT. ALL. 

In the re-spin (originally published in November 2024) our expert host Marit Rødevand is joined by Chloe Cina of RUSI, Jessica Cath of Thistle Initiatives, and Mitch Trehan of Allica Bank.

The panel discuss three provocative statements: "the compliance industry is more focused on box-ticking than truly fighting financial crime", "sanctions are great for headlines - but criminals use them as a roadmap", and "AI hasn't stopped criminals—it’s just made their jobs easier".

Will Trump's new sanctions package bring an end to the war in Ukraine – or are we still just ticking boxes?
