UK Gambling Commission flags weaknesses in operators’ AI-based AML controls
The UK Gambling Commission warned that some gambling companies could not explain or properly test AI-based systems used to identify money-laundering and terrorist-financing risks. It found configuration errors, missed risk indicators and cases where compliance staff could not understand why customers were flagged. The Commission said it will assess these tools in upcoming compliance reviews.
Operators may need to improve oversight, testing and explainability of automated AML controls ahead of Commission assessments.
