Description:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming part of the compliance landscape, yet many sanctions professionals are still asking the same questions: Where can AI add value? What are the risks? And how can we begin using it responsibly within our programs?

Join us for an interactive discussion focused on practical, real-world applications of AI within sanctions governance and compliance. This session is designed for sanctions practitioners, not technologists, and will explore how AI can support common compliance activities such as regulatory monitoring, policy development, risk assessments, reporting, investigations, and training.

Together, we’ll discuss emerging use cases, implementation considerations, governance expectations, and lessons learned from organizations that are beginning to incorporate AI into their compliance frameworks. Whether your organization is exploring AI for the first time or evaluating how to expand existing capabilities, this session will provide practical insights and actionable ideas that you can take back to your team.

Bring your questions, concerns, and experiences as we explore how sanctions professionals can move from curiosity to capability while maintaining strong governance, effective oversight, and sound risk management practices.
