Solution Overview

Problem

Financial institutions face challenges in efficiently generating and validating suspicious activity report (SAR) narratives due to manual processes, overwhelming data volumes, and the need for timely decision-making in fraud and anti-money laundering investigations, leading to inconsistencies and resource wastage.

Innovation Solution

An automated computing system utilizing generative AI, such as large language models (LLMs), to programmatically generate and validate SAR narratives, reducing manual efforts and enhancing efficiency through intelligent and accurate summarization and validation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual processes are used to generate and validate SAR narratives, then investigators can exercise professional judgment and adapt to complex cases, but the process becomes time-consuming and inconsistent

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconsistency of SAR narrative generationVSAvoidtime required for SAR narrative generation and validation

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service through automated narrative generation where the AI model processes transaction data, applies regulatory guidelines, and generates SAR narratives independently without requiring manual intervention for each step, thereby reducing time while maintaining consistency through standardized algorithms

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual writing process with an automated AI-based system that uses natural language processing and machine learning models to generate narratives, substituting human cognitive operations with computational processes that are faster and more consistent

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If investigators manually analyze hundreds of fields and create SARs following regulatory guidelines, then accuracy can be maintained through human expertise, but productivity decreases due to manual effort requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvespeed of SAR narrative generationVSAvoidcomplexity of data fields and regulatory guidelines

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex SAR generation task into distinct processing stages: data extraction from transaction fields, regulatory guideline matching, narrative generation, and validation. This segmentation allows the system to handle complexity systematically while maintaining high productivity through automation of each stage

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the approach by changing parameters from manual analysis to automated processing, converting qualitative human judgment into quantitative algorithmic operations that can process data at scale while maintaining accuracy through trained models on regulatory guidelines

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If reviewers manually review SARs and narratives, then quality control can be performed with professional judgment, but time inefficiencies and resource wastage occur

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvequality control of SAR narrativesVSAvoidtime required for SAR review

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The validation system performs self-service by automatically checking generated narratives against regulatory guidelines and data accuracy requirements, enabling the system to self-verify quality control functions without requiring extensive manual review time while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where generated narratives are automatically validated and reviewed by the AI model, providing immediate feedback on accuracy and compliance issues that need correction before final submission, thereby improving quality control efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An autonomous fraud/AML reporting system and methods are provided that are configured to automate validations of SAR narratives using a generative AI service by an automated SAR narrative system. The system includes a processor and a computer readable medium operably coupled thereto, the computer readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions stored in association therewith that are accessible to, and executable by, the processor, to perform narrative validation operations which include receiving a SAR narrative for a SAR, loading a prompt template associated with validating the SAR narrative by the generative AI service, injecting the narrative into the prompt templates, and generating and storing the validation based on the comparing.
