How tech can help (or hinder) the fight against corporate crime

Ashurst Legal Outlook Podcast

Demystifying the fast-emerging technologies that are changing the face of corporate crime investigations.

It’s an exciting time to work in the field of corporate crime investigations and, more broadly, the disputes and contentious matters space. AI, machine learning, data analytics and other emerging technologies are turbo charging our ability to prevent, detect and investigate crime. However, these developments also present several risks and limitations that professionals in the field need to be alert to.

In this episode of our mini-series, an expert panel discusses how some of these emerging technologies are being applied in investigations, and how to mitigate the associated risks. Host Adam Jamieson, a partner in Ashurst’s Dispute Resolutions team, is joined by Charlotte Miller, Managing Director and Head of Financial Crime Digital at HSBC, along with Ashurst partner and Chief Digital Officer, Tara Waters, and Ashurst Risk Advisory partner and Data Analytics Lead, Matt Worsfold.

Together, the panel discusses current uses of generative AI, data security, data integrity, data visualisation, and more – then considers what to expect in the years ahead. Charlotte also explains HSBC’s supervised machine learning model that is taking transaction monitoring to the next level by replacing the use of fixed base binary rules with probability and propensity capabilities.
