Oracle Enhances Investigation Hub with AI to Combat Financial Crime

Oracle Financial Services is transforming financial crime investigations by integrating AI agents and agentic workflows into its Investigation Hub Cloud Service. These new capabilities help financial firms automate investigative processes, uncover complex patterns, and fight financial crime more efficiently. By leveraging generative AI-driven narratives, the AI agents supplement investigators' analysis, improving the quality and speed of reviewing suspicious activity. This automation saves valuable time and resources by reducing manual tasks and allowing investigators to focus on high-priority cases. Available globally, the upgraded Investigation Hub empowers financial institutions of all sizes to enhance compliance and streamline operations.
According to Jason Somrak, head of financial crime product strategy at Oracle Financial Services, the introduction of agentic AI marks a paradigm shift in financial crime investigations. The AI-driven approach follows investigative plans, collects evidence, and recommends actions while generating comprehensive narratives that document findings. This helps financial institutions ensure consistency in decision-making, improve risk analysis, and achieve operational efficiencies.
As financial crime becomes more sophisticated, regulatory scrutiny increases, making traditional manual investigations time-consuming and error-prone. Unlike AI chatbots that require investigators to input specific queries, Oracle's AI agents autonomously surface key insights, collect evidence, recommend decisions, and generate structured alert narratives. These AI-driven workflows help financial crime analysts eliminate inconsistencies, ensuring more reliable and actionable intelligence.
Powered by generative AI, these agents analyze alert information, including matches between customer data and sanction lists, and automatically create detailed narratives summarizing key findings. This automation enables financial crime and compliance teams to conduct thorough investigations and make data-driven decisions with greater confidence. The AI-enhanced Investigation Hub is part of Oracle's broader financial crime and compliance management solutions, designed to make financial investigations more predictable, reliable, and efficient.

Snapchat revealed that the update addresses the evolving digital safety needs of families. As part of the initiative, Snapchat hosted an educational session. The event was conducted in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority and life coach Hala Kazim. The session aimed to educate parents, creators, and media about Snapchat's family-focused safety features. The revamped Family Center section now includes clear instructions on using in-app tools. These features allow parents to see who their teen is in contact with, without reading message content. This approach helps balance digital safety and user privacy. Snapchat reported that the platform has shifted its language to be more inclusive. Previously called the 'Parents Site,' it is now named the 'Family Hub.' This change reflects a shared responsibility between parents and teens in maintaining safe digital habits. Fatima Al Melhi, Director of Special Projects at the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority, emphasized the importance of child protection. She stated, 'We are working together with Snapchat and other Children's Digital Wellbeing Pact members to ensure safe digital environments.'

Earlier this year, Snapchat was named a key member of The Pact. This is a UAE-based digital wellbeing committee led by the Digital Wellbeing Council and the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority.
