ACAMS Vancouver Chapter April 2026 Event: From Rules to Reasoning: How AI is Transforming AML
Overview
PwC is pleased to host an ACAMS practitioner session on the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in anti-money laundering (AML) and financial crime compliance.
Across the industry, firms are under increasing pressure to handle growing data volumes, more complex cross-border activity, and heightened regulatory expectations around AML effectiveness. At the same time, both financial institutions and criminals are beginning to use AI—creating new opportunities, but also new risks. This session is designed to help ACAMS members cut through the hype and understand, in practical terms, what AI means for their day-to-day work.
The session will focus on how AI can enhance, rather than replace, professional judgment and existing controls—supporting more effective detection, more efficient operations, and more robust documentation for regulators and internal stakeholders. It is aimed at AML, financial crime, and compliance professionals at all levels who may not be technical specialists but need to understand how AI tools are being applied in practice, and how to engage in discussions on implementation, oversight, and governance.
Following the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to see a live technology demonstration and take part in an interactive Q&A, allowing for deeper exploration of specific use cases, implementation approaches, and lessons learned from the field.
Light snacks and refreshments will follow the presentation.
