Introduction
Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed numerous industries, but its impact on money laundering has raised concerns. Money laundering, the process of disguising the origin of illicit funds, has become increasingly sophisticated with the help of AI.
- AI-powered systems can analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions, which can be used for both legitimate and malicious purposes.
- While AI can facilitate money laundering, it can also be used to prevent it.
