AI-Driven Financial Crime Experts on Singapore COSMIC-Australia Gap
π€ My practical quest for execution of AI in financial services led me to Singapore's COSMIC.
And it showed me exactly what Australia's π¦πΊ next move should be. π―

Singapore's COSMIC isn't a compliance innovation.
It's an AI infrastructure innovation. π€
Singapore built a platform where six banks share financial crime intelligence in real time β in structured, machine-readable format, designed to feed directly into AI and ML systems.
Not reports. Not alerts. Signals. That models can consume. Instantly. β‘

I've broken down (briefly) how it works, what the Australia vs Singapore gap actually looks like, and what a phased Australian equivalent would look like in the three slides above.
The short version:
π COSMIC is the breakthrough (slide 1) β machine-readable data, AI driven, human-in-loop reviewed reports
π¦ Australia's gap isn't capability β it's architecture (slide 2) β our Big 4 ML systems are world-class, they just can't talk to each other, and that gives us unconnected intelligence
π οΈ We have everything we need to build this now (slide 3) β Fintel Alliance, AML/CTF Act 2024, and a FATF deadline in 2026

The question isn't whether we should build an Australian COSMIC.
It's whether we build it before the window closes. πͺ
I'm keen to hear from experts on how this interconnects with real-time payments, cross-border transactions, and the CDR rails we've already built β comment below. π
