Synergizing AI and Quantum Computing to Revolutionize Financial Crime Detection

The integration of AI and QC results in a significant shift in combating financial crimes in the digital realm. Lawful computing techniques and statistical learning models are insufficient for examining enormous, high-dimensional financial datasets, and detecting intricate fraudulent patterns is also not feasible. The current investigation in this paper focuses on the integration of AI and QC in transforming financial crime detection systems. AI models, aided by quantum-enhanced algorithms, can perform pattern recognition, anomaly detection, and prediction with the highest accuracy in multidimensional transaction networks. Quantum Machine Learning (QML) offers a novel computational framework that enables real-time data processing, enhances encryption, and facilitates the simultaneous optimization of large-scale financial monitoring. Moreover, the research identified significant difficulties in implementation, including quantum decoherence, data security, navigating the algorithm's opacity, and interfacing with the existing regulatory infrastructure. An AI-QC collaboration-based architecture is proposed as a means to develop resourceful, clear, and robust financial crime detection systems. The experiment suggests that combining AI and QC could quadruple the efficiency of anti-fraud systems, thereby ushering in the era of sophisticated and quantum-resistant financial ecosystems.
