Financial institutions are increasingly starting to explore how AI can deliver value in the context of sanctions screening, but many are still trying to work out exactly where it can deliver meaningful value, how to measure success, and what controls are needed to support adoption.
Join GSS and industry leaders for a practical discussion on AI implementation in sanctions screening. Hear real-world experiences from fellow banks that are already on the AI journey, including what worked, the challenges they faced, and the lessons learned along the way.
We’ll also explore the legal, governance and regulatory considerations shaping AI adoption, helping organisations balance innovation with accountability and compliance.
Why attend?
- Learn from banks that are implementing AI in sanctions screening
- Understand practical challenges and success factors
- Explore approaches to governance, legal and regulatory oversight
- Gain insight into where AI can deliver the greatest impact across the screening lifecycle

Whether you’re evaluating AI opportunities or actively deploying solutions, this session will provide actionable insights to help turn AI ambition into measurable outcomes.
