Section 1
The premise
Sanctions programs drown in false positives. AI helps tune and triage; sanctions officers must own every match decision.
What AI does well here
- Generate triage summaries comparing screening hits to candidate SDN entries
- Suggest fuzzy-matching threshold adjustments based on hit-rate analysis
- Draft escalation memos for true-positive candidates for officer review
- Summarize OFAC FAQ updates relevant to a current case
What AI cannot do
- Make the SDN match determination
- Replace OFAC license-application work
- Substitute for sanctions-officer escalation decisions
- Stay current with daily list updates without integration
