Anti-financial crime B-Corp Themis announced the launch of AI Investigator — an intelligent LLM-driven due diligence platform designed to transform how organizations of all sizes detect and prevent financial crime. It uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) and domain-specific models trained on Themis’ proprietary data to automate investigations. The platform delivers real-time risk analysis across ownership structures, adverse media, and regulatory filings, with results delivered in minutes not days or weeks.
“When we look back in a few years, we’ll wonder how due diligence was ever done without AI. By making checks faster and broader in reach, our AML-trained AI agents turn this into something accessible and instinctive for all. By putting enhanced due diligence into everyone’s hands, we are truly democratizing due diligence”. said Dickon Johnstone, CEO of Themis, in a statement.
“That’s how we finally gain the upper hand in the fight against financial crime and stop the deliberate exploitation of people, businesses and the natural world around us by criminals and organized crime groups.”
Key features:
- AI-driven investigations: trained AI Agents deliver automated checks triggered with minimal input.
- Behavioral analysis and pattern matching at scale: assessing probability of links to financial crime based on real criminal conviction data and established financial crime typologies.
- Financial crime indicators: Themis has developed a proprietary knowledge base covering indicators across all major predicate crime types. This foundation enables AI agents to detect hidden risks and potential exposure to financial crime with enhanced precision and contextual insight.
- Scalable and cloud-agnostic: offers seamless integration across sectors and tech stacks.
Themis’ clients span financial institutions, corporates, professional services, private equity, real estate and government. This broad community has shaped the design of AI Investigator, ensuring it meets the complex needs of organizations facing financial crime risk beyond regulated sectors.
While the UK is Themis’ primary office, the statement noted that Abu Dhabi is fast becoming a global AI hub, investing AED13 billion ($3.5bn) between 2025 and 2027 as part of the UAE’s national strategy that is building an ecosystem with government, business, investors and institutions like ADGM and Hub71. In this environment, Themis has accelerated breakthroughs in proprietary LLMs and agentic AI trained by financial crime specialists, “making Abu Dhabi the fitting stage for the global launch of AI Investigator”.
