KYC Automation vs. The 'Human Element' in AML Flags
Been pondering the push for ever-increasing automation in KYC/KYB, particularly with new AI/ML tools promising faster onboarding and fewer manual reviews. While efficiency gains are clear, I'm curious about the consensus on how much is too much when it comes to removing the human element from AML red flag analysis. Are we at risk of seeing increasingly sophisticated evasion techniques slip through purely algorithmic nets? There's a certain intuition a seasoned compliance officer brings that's hard to codify, isn't there?

That's a great point. While AI can certainly flag anomalies based on data, understanding the 'why' behind a potential red flag often requires human judgment, especially in complex or novel schemes. There's a fine line between efficiency and effectiveness that we're all still navigating.
