Understand where AI in AML stands today — what works, what does not, and what is still holding innovation back.

AI has matured rapidly and is already proving its value in AML detection and investigations. At the same time, regulation is evolving toward a risk-based approach designed to accommodate emerging technologies. Yet significant structural barriers continue to limit real societal impact — and the next generation of AML innovation.

Join Copenhagen Fintech and CBS for an afternoon of practical insights and forward-looking discussion. Experience a live demonstration from the successful scaleup Lucinity, research perspectives from Kalle Johannes Rose on regulatory transformation and systemic challenges, and a conversation with the startup node16.ai on enabling cross-bank collaboration through AI. We close the event with a debate on how the ecosystem move to the next generation of AML innovation and what role universities play in that.

You will meet:

• Kalle Johannes Rose, Henrik Axelsen and Kristine Holst Frisk, CBS
• Camilla Hillerup, COO, Lucinity
• Corporate risk/compliance team profile (speaker tba)
• Sine Lomholt Thomsen, Copenhagen Fintech / Nordic Fintech Center
