    E134: What is holding Sweden back on AI in AML?

    A alarming new report out of Sweden has revealed that a THIRD of their financial institutions have not started exploring artificial intelligence solutions in AML at all! While zero respondents said they have full or advanced AI implementation in place. But in this age where financial criminals are plugged in to the latest technology, can you really afford not to be? Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Daniel Bardun, Senior Manager in Financial Crime Prevention at Advisense, to ask: What is holding Sweden back on AI in AML?  The pair discuss: the size and scale of shadow banking today, the consequences of this parallel financial system, and what can be done to shut it down.

    E131: What does vibe coding mean for AML?

    VIBE CODING! The new tools that let users write the back-end code for websites, apps, and online games with AI—without any coding experience. The potential for these tools is huge, and VCs are currently throwing billions of dollars in investment behind them! But, it wouldn’t be The Laundry if we didn't bring that compliance focus!

Your expert hosts, Fredrik Riiser and Robin Lycka, are asking: what does vibe coding mean for AML? The pair discuss: potential risks around fraud, money laundering, and sanctions evasion, how the software can be used for AML, and whether we embrace the vibes...or bin them!
