## Resource

AI is everywhere in financial crime compliance - but is it delivering on its promises? In this episode of AML Conversations, host Joe McNamara and Mark Sully, Managing Director of Commercial Affairs for EMEA and APAC, dive into the escalating challenges of sanctions screening and geopolitical risk in financial crime compliance. They explore how rapidly shifting sanctions lists, surging alert volumes, and dual-use goods are straining compliance teams - and what institutions are doing about it. From list management and false positive reduction to augmenting analyst workflows with AI, the conversation maps out a pragmatic path forward that balances technology adoption with operational reality.
