AI could become one of the most powerful tools in the fight against financial crime, not by expanding surveillance, but by rebuilding integrity into digital systems. If AI can create stronger evidence chains that connect documents, actions and transactions, it can help expose fraud, money laundering and weak controls far more effectively. The real opportunity is not just better detection, but restoring trust at scale. The future of financial crime prevention may depend less on watching everyone, and more on proving what is real. https://t.co/yZ6evQFAhU @wef

Why are ships suddenly stuck in the Persian Gulf? Ship insurance is already a maze. Add war and it becomes a labyrinth. In 15 minutes I’m going to attempt the impossible: explain ship insurance 101, what’s happening, why ships won’t sail, and...
US offers a $20B maritime war-risk reinsurance backstop to coax tankers back into the Gulf No one wants it It doesn’t provide shipowners the incentive they need to sail into a war zone. #Hormuz #oilmarkets #shipping #geopolitics
