Good AI and Bad AI for AML, KYC and Fraud

Broadcast Date: October 16th, 2025 at 1 PM ET

Know your customer? Know your bad guy! The power of AI extends to both black hats and white, and with Generative AI now in the toolset, all bets are off. Bad actors can whip up pixel-perfect, fraudulent web sites in seconds to pilfer your username and password. They can mimic your spouse’s voice to put you in a panic. And they can use Agentic AI to hide even the most brazen cases of money laundering.

What’s the cure? Check out this episode of DM Radio to hear fraud-fighting veteran Matt Vega of Sardine.ai, who will explain how their AI Agents tackle the tedious tasks that hamper crime-fighting teams large and small. He’ll first demonstrate some of the most diabolical tricks from the field, then show how Sardine’s platform leverages a mosaic of data and algorithms to isolate risks, and nullify fraud.

He’ll be joined by Mark Madsen of Third Nature, who will offer insights into the what, how and why of today’s most advanced threat detection systems.

Attendees will learn:
• Why 3 billion devices can’t be wrong
• Which data sets can be combined to identify fraud
• How Financial Crimes Units are innovating with AI
• What can be done to future-proof your risk programs
