Code Meets Conduct: Merging AI and Proven Compliance Practices, with Tobias Schweiger of Hawk

Traditional compliance has always relied on rules and red flags, but for Tobias Schweiger, there is a smarter way. Tobias is co-founder and CEO of Hawk, an AML and fraud prevention software provider, and he believes in bridging the gap between cautious, law-driven approaches and the power of AI. It’s not about rewriting the rulebook, it's about transforming how we read it.

Before founding Hawk, Tobias had leadership roles at the intersection of finance, technology, and strategy. Today, his focus is aimed sharply on using tech to innovate in heavily regulated industries.

In this episode, Tobias and Hanjo dive into the struggle for banks caught between skyrocketing AML demands, and the need for operational efficiency, and how they can manage both. They also discuss some thorough but efficient approaches to false positive reduction, how to get clarity on true positives, and the reality of fighting Gen AI crime with Gen AI tools.
