Deter, detect and disrupt ML/TF risk and threats that affect our financial system and contribute to the growth of our economy by:

Using big data, predictive analytics and risk-tiering to identify high risk targets and reduce over-processing of low-risk cases
Reducing unnecessary regulatory burden leading to reduced business costs and contributing to the growth of the economy.

21. Digital Disruption Disruption does not respect history…
Predicting the future
by looking at the past
is precisely the reason why
Digital Disruption
was invented
Disruption does not respect history…

0.5% = ?
plus
times
of data is analysed

There is quite a lot to do….
Death by
Analysis
Hands on Learning
Get your head under the hood

24. I AGREE Privacy The age of Consent
Complex Outcomes
Narrow Outcomes
I haven’t read any of it but
I AGREE
Requires high trust
[eg Government]
Relatively low trust
[eg Social Media]
Low & complex consent constrains outcomes
High & simple consent but unjoined actions

25. Lies, Damn Lies & Big Data Lies, Damn Lies & Statistics
Confidence
Data
We may have a lot more of it,
and we may be able to correlate many more data sources,
but will we have any greater confidence in the conclusions we draw?
…. or will we just listen to the loudest data?

Lies, Damn Lies & Statistics

26. trust is harder to come by, and without trust there is little value.
As virtual reality becomes our reality – are we susceptible to manipulation?
Technology is easy,
trust is harder to come by,
and without trust there is little value.

27. Disruption does not respect history 1
Three thoughts…
Disruption does not respect history 1
Evaluate long-term trends, blips and predictions with equal weight
The explosion of big data may overwhelm our ability to steward & make sense of it. We risk/are becoming untrusted. 2
Experiment early with frameworks for analysis – test trust-making
Information overload may result in simplistic, prejudiced sound-bite responses 3
Ensure the realisation of analysis is balanced & human-centred

28. If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.
