Nasdaq Introduces Artificial Intelligence-Powered Employee Lineup
In a significant stride towards enhancing operational efficiency and maintaining robust compliance operations, Nasdaq Verafin has launched the Agentic AI Workforce. This innovative suite of digital workers is designed to automate low-value, high-volume anti-money laundering (AML) compliance processes, particularly in areas such as sanctions screening and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) reviews.
The Agentic AI Workforce is the latest evolution of Nasdaq Verafin's financial crime management solutions, following the successful rollout of the GenAI Entity Research copilot. The GenAI copilot has been instrumental in streamlining and expediting investigations and documentation, a testament to Nasdaq Verafin's commitment to leveraging artificial intelligence in the financial services industry.
The digital workers in the Agentic AI Workforce, including the Digital Sanctions Analyst and the Digital EDD Analyst, are designed to address increasingly sophisticated threats in the financial services industry. These digital workers can execute complex tasks with minimal supervision, plan workflows, coordinate multiple tasks, and request information from various systems and datasets. They are capable of reasoning, planning, and completing multi-step tasks autonomously.
One of the key benefits of the Agentic AI Workforce is the efficiency gains it offers. By automating high-volume tasks, it significantly reduces the workload associated with AML compliance. For instance, the Digital Sanctions Analyst is expected to reduce alert review workload by more than 80% by dispositioning, documenting, and actioning false positive alerts.
Another benefit is resource reallocation. By automating routine tasks, banks can reallocate human resources to focus on more complex and strategic financial crime investigations, such as human trafficking and organized crime. The automation of EDD reviews and other compliance processes also helps financial institutions reduce operational expenses associated with high-risk customer assessments.
The Agentic AI Workforce addresses a significant challenge faced by financial institutions, which have increased headcount investments but still face resource constraints in combating financial crime. A survey found that despite increased investment in headcount, nearly half of respondents reported a lack of adequate resources and technology to fight financial crime.
Chuck Subrt, the Fraud & AML Practice Director at Datos Insights, stated that the financial services industry is seeking to automate resource-intensive workflows. Digital workforce solutions like Nasdaq Verafin's Agentic AI Workforce aim to enable human experts to focus on high-value decision-making and critical analysis.
The Digital Sanctions Analyst and Digital EDD Analyst are currently in beta and expected to be available to Nasdaq Verafin clients later this year. More than 1,300 clients have benefited from Nasdaq Verafin's integrated GenAI copilot capabilities across its platform.
