E173: Can we train AI to THINK like a fincrime investigator?

70% of us have already let AI loose on our day-to-day tasks — summarising documents, knocking out images, the usual.

Turning it loose on a financial crime investigation is a different question entirely.

Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Asia Holt, Fincrime Domain Lead at Strise, to put it to the test: can we train AI to think like a fincrime investigator?

They build an AI investigator from scratch, run it against a real case, and find out exactly where the limit of its effectiveness lies!
