“Different companies are attacking the problem from different perspectives,” Gandhi says. Machine learning helps financial institutions to know their customers independent of their regular transactions, which helps in reducing fraud, he says.

  • How other industries are leveraging machine learning to mitigate fraud;
  • The challenges involved in cracking down on money laundering.
