ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI) is rapidly overhauling how financial crime and compliance teams work.
But where is it delivering real value? And what do firms trust AI to do?
A new survey from AML Intelligence and NICE Actimize will take an in-depth look at these questions, while also exploring how industry professionals are using AI tools.
The study is available [HERE]. Respondents will get exclusive early access to results and insights, covering corporate AI spending plans and tool use.
Additionally, those who complete the poll will be in with a chance to win three guest passes to ‘International Anti-Financial Crime Summit 2026’ (IAFCS) 2026, one of the most important events in the global AML calendar.
AI survey insights
The study will examine how firms use AI in practice. It will explore how firms are scaling AI, and the barriers which still remain.
As well as that, it will cover cost, governance and the need to maintain effective human oversight, providing crucial data on how AI is changing the role of financial crime professionals.
“AI is quickly becoming a key part of the day-to-day for compliance teams,” said Stephen Rae, AML Intelligence’s Editor-in-Chief and Chair.
“But we need to understand how professionals actually use it. Where does AI deliver value? And how is it changing the role of human investigators? These are some of the questions our survey will answer.”
Michael Barrett, Vice President of AML Product Management at NICE Actimize, said the future of AI in financial crime and compliance “should be shaped by the people closest to the work”.
“These are the compliance leaders, investigators, technologists, and risk professionals navigating this transformation every day,” he said.
“This survey is our opportunity to listen, learn and bring forward practitioner insights that can help the industry move from experimentation to responsible, scalable impact.”
The results will provide a snapshot of how the industry is using AI, where it sees the greatest value and what barriers remain to wider adoption.
