This course translates AI into compliance language. You will not be building models or writing code. You will be learning how to use, govern, validate, and defend AI systems within an AML framework – confidently, and in front of regulators.
Across eight modules, the course covers how machine learning, NLP, graph analytics, and automation change the way compliance teams handle customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and SAR reporting in practice.
The programme also addresses AI governance, explainability, and regulatory alignment across FATF, EU AI Act, FinCEN, MAS, and FCA – giving participants the frameworks needed to lead AI-enabled programmes without handing control to technologists.
Course Highlights:
This course is built for professionals who oversee, govern, or work alongside AI systems in AML – not those who build them.
