Beyond the Prompt: Deploying Autonomous AI Agents for the 2026 Financial Crime Landscape

• Why alert reduction alone is no longer sufficient, and how velocity is redefining financial crime risk
• What AI agents can actually do, from orchestrating multi-step investigations to drafting defensible narratives that meet 2026 regulatory standards 
• How regulators are evolving their expectations, and why explainability, documented rationale, and consistency matter more than ever
• What effective human-in-the-loop compliance looks like in an agent-driven future

This conversation is designed for AML and compliance leaders who want to understand not just how AI fits into their programs, but why agentic systems represent the next structural shift in financial crime prevention and what it takes to adopt them responsibly.

Reducing alert fatigue has been your goal for years. But as we enter 2026, the defining challenge isn't volume, it's velocity. Criminal AI agents are now conducting financial crime in milliseconds. If your compliance team is still relying on manual triage, you aren't just slow; you're vulnerable.

In this session, executives from Unit21 and Equifax will explore the shift from “Chatbot AML” to Agentic Compliance, a model in which autonomous AI agents don’t just assist analysts but actively execute parts of the investigative workflow, with oversight, explainability, and auditability built in.
