As EU reforms raise expectations through AMLA and the new AML single rulebook, legacy AML/CTF frameworks can no longer keep pace.

Co-authored by Prof. Andrea Minto, a leading authority on EU financial regulation at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the University of Stavanger, and Yaron Hazan, ThetaRay’s Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, Advisory board member at the AI APAC Institute and former Head of Compliance at HSBC Israel, the study blends academic rigor with supervisory and operational expertise rarely found in a single publication. 

 

This study examines how AI and machine learning can help close longstanding gaps in detection and due diligence, arguing that technology will become a de facto requirement for compliant, effective AML governance.
