Southern Africa Mobilises Collaborative AI Frameworks to Combat Next-Gen Financial Crime
What's happening
The 11th Annual AML & Financial Crime Southern Africa Conference will return to Johannesburg this September, assembling regulators, financial institutions and technology leaders to address evolving financial crime risks, regulatory challenges and AI-driven compliance strategies. The coverage around the event frames AI as central to both sides of the equation: banks and tech providers are racing to harness AI for fraud detection, AML and risk management while criminals use AI to launch more convincing scams and evade detection.
