Next-Gen AML: How AI is Modernizing Financial Crime Detection, with Yaron Hazan of ThetaRay

We’re back with a new season exploring the future of compliance with innovators and ground-breakers! In the coming months, Hanjo is looking at the tech that is transforming the industry and reshaping how compliance is done.

In our first episode of the season, Hanjo sits down with Yaron Hazan, VP of Regulatory Affairs at ThetaRay, a software provider pioneering new uses of AI and machine learning for financial crime detection and anti-money laundering.

Financial crime is evolving as quickly as our digital financial systems are, and no one knows this better than Yaron. He has spent much of his extraordinary career combating increasingly sophisticated threats, and in this episode, Yaron discusses his career journey and the unique vantage point it gave him in compliance and risk. He also shares why ThetaRay's preventative approach grabbed his attention and how AI can outpace complex financial crimes. And, Yaron highlights the crucial role of global cooperation and adaptation in tackling the intricacies of this widespread problem.

Note that in this episode, we’ve opted to dub over the names of financial institutions and systems that Yaron references.
