Money laundering poses a significant global challenge, with estimates suggesting that the annual amount of laundered money reaches 2-5% of the global GDP, equating to up to $2 trillion. Illicit funds derived from money laundering are linked to various illegal activities, including drug and human trafficking, as well as terrorist financing.

AML AI, powered by machine learning, offers an innovative approach to combat money laundering efficiently and accurately. The product leverages customer data, transaction patterns, user behavior, and identification information to identify high-risk operations. Developers claim that AML AI performs checks 2-4 times more efficiently than existing standard procedures.
