Fighting Financial Crime with AI: Smarter, Faster Compliance (ITC Asia 2026)
Brendan Choo, Regional Director for Southeast Asia at WIDTH, discusses the growing challenge facing insurers and other regulated financial institutions: staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated financial crime while keeping compliance operations efficient and scalable.
He highlights how AI can help compliance teams analyse risk, detect suspicious patterns and make faster, better-informed decisions. However, the objective is not to replace human expertise. Instead, AI should reduce manual workloads and provide teams with the context and intelligence needed to focus on higher-value investigations and decisions.
