Lucinity secures patent for tech that enhances financial crime compliance and global intelligence sharing

Lucinity, the global leader in AI software for financial crime compliance, has secured a second patent from the US for its proprietary federated learning technology, which provides a unique approach to allow global financial systems to share algorithmic learning patterns without having to share sensitive data.

Enhancing data security and collaborative analysis, intelligence can be distributed in a secure way across multiple entities, improving any models from enhancing AIs that drive productivity, to the detection of cross border illicit financial activities, whilst formulating proactive measures to prevent them.

This methodology aligns with the latest global regulations, such as the EU AI Act as well as onshoring requirements such as Singapore and Australia.

The design of the patented technology was born out of Lucinity’s research and development division, Lucinity Labs, which had been looking for a way to strengthen the financial services ecosystem while complying with data sharing laws.

This innovation was applied during a project with the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Innovation Hub’s Nordic Centre that explored privacy-enhancing technologies and enhanced cooperation across institutions and borders.

“We believe in bringing connectivity to parts of the world where it wasn’t possible before. The biggest thing holding back adoption of advanced AI systems is the global concern over data security. Now, with our patented technology, algorithms from one market can share essential learnings with another market, and the data remains safe, private, and secure,” says Guðmundur Kristjánsson, CEO and Founder of Lucinity.

The federated learning patent, combined with Lucinity’s Generative AI technology, will unlock unprecedented intelligence in financial services enabling more precise, efficient, and secure data analysis for combating financial crime.

As well as breaking down barriers in financial crime prevention there is huge potential for federated learning to be applied in other sectors that handle sensitive data, such as healthcare, DNA research, and pharmaceutical practices.

“The possibilities to apply this federated learning patent are endless. It will exponentially increase our capacity to utilise and learn from data like never before,” says Kristjánsson.

Lucinity has been at the forefront of AI technology since its inception. The company also received a patent in 2022 for another piece of AI, their Secure Lockbox, which features pioneering homomorphic encryption of data.

This patent enables Lucinity to encrypt all personally identifiable information (PII) while still using PII as an input into AI in its encrypted form. This was a huge leap towards shared intelligence, and the proprietary federated learning patent complements and builds on this.

With these advancements in federated learning and data security, Lucinity continues to introduce new disruptive innovations to enhance financial crime compliance and global intelligence sharing.
