Our Compliance Iceberg is Melting: Why AI Is the Solution We Need Now

In this webinar, Gudmundur Kristjansson, CEO of Lucinity, and John McCarthy, a compliance expert with experience at Airbnb, Citi, and BMO, explored the shift from traditional processes to AI-driven financial crime operations. The discussion echoed the themes of Our Iceberg is Melting—one of Gudmundur’s favorite books—highlighting the need for adaptation in the face of a changing compliance landscape. Like the penguins in the story, compliance teams must adapt to a melting iceberg of outdated, manual processes cracking under modern pressures. The session provided actionable strategies for embracing AI to build stronger, more resilient systems. Drawing on John’s experience implementing AI at leading organizations, the conversation emphasized the advantages of moving beyond slow, reactive methods to confidently thrive in a tech-driven future.
