In her latest expert commentary, Becki Laporte, Principal of AML Strategy & Innovation at FinScan, explores how the financial crime landscape is evolving in 2026 and what that means for compliance teams and technology systems. With over 25 years in financial services, she highlights how AI has become a double-edged sword: powering efficiency and proactive detection, while also enabling sophisticated scams using deepfakes and generative tools.
The article also examines how regulatory expectations around AI governance and data quality are shifting, and why traditional, siloed approaches to fraud, AML, and cybersecurity no longer suffice. Forward-looking institutions that modernize their tech stacks, unify risk perspectives, and embrace agile, well-governed data and decision frameworks will be best positioned to stay ahead of increasingly automated threats.
