From days to minutes: How generative AI is reinventing due diligence
As global regulatory scrutiny intensifies and the fight against financial crime grows more complex, corporate and financial institutions face mounting pressure to deeply understand exactly who they are doing business with. However, traditional due diligence remains a critical bottleneck. Manual background investigations are notoriously slow and labor-intensive, while legacy automated screening tools often flood compliance teams with irrelevant false positives, draining valuable time and resources. In this keynote, Joel Lange, EVP & GM, Dow Jones Risk and Enterprise, will reveal how generative AI breaks this deadlock through Dow Jones Integrity Check, compressing deep-dive background investigations from days to minutes. Joel will demonstrate how combining advanced NLP and entity resolution with trusted, copyright-compliant data, such as Factiva, Dun & Bradstreet and Dow Jones Risk & Compliance, synthesizes unstructured adverse media into clear risk summaries and delivers fully auditable reports to scale risk management with confidence.
