August 27, 2026 · 29 min

Show notes

You've seen the stories: a big company makes staff redundant, replaces them with a shiny AI feature, then quietly hires them back once it all goes wrong.


Why does this keep happening? Swapping human expertise for AI is never a straight substitution – especially in financial crime.


Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Craig McLeod, Partner in Financial Crime & Risk Consulting at EY, to discuss: How do we put the "human" back into AI processes in fincrime? 


The pair discuss: the current issues with AI implementation, where the human element is essential, and how we 'course correct' for the future.
