In this special episode of Silent Eight Talks, we welcome James Booth, Global Head of Anti Money Laundering, Counter Terrorism and Sanctions, alongside Cecilie Fjellhøy, tech expert, international speaker, and globally recognised advocate for victims of financial crime. Together, they explore the powerful intersection of AI-driven innovation and the real-life impact of financial crime on individuals. Drawing from James’s deep experience in the world of anti-financial crime technology and Cecilie’s lived journey as a high-profile scam survivor, the conversation offers rare insight into how technology can — and must — evolve to protect people as well as institutions. This session will challenge assumptions, humanise the headlines, and spotlight the role AI can play in creating a safer financial ecosystem.
