Minority Report vs. AI Reality: How to Manage Global AI Risk

Introduction
AI presents massive opportunities—and equally massive risks.
Many compliance leaders dream of using AI to detect misconduct before it happens. But the regulatory reality is far from science fiction.
The U.S. View: Encouragement
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)recently called for proactive risk management in AI.
Many global companies are leveraging AI to fight financial crime, predict risks, and improve oversight.
The EU View: Prohibition
Then comes the shock:
The EU AI Act explicitly prohibits predictive criminal profiling of individuals.
Even if your AI focuses on transaction monitoring, it’s likely to be labeled a “high-risk AI system”, triggering obligations such as:
- Ex-ante conformity assessments
- Continuous human oversight
- Incident reporting
- Detailed documentation
The Takeaway: What’s Legal in One Country Might Be Illegal in Another
What the U.S. allows, the EU restricts.This regulatory divergence is the new global reality.
Just as Yahoo! France had to block Nazi memorabilia despite U.S. First Amendment protections, AI governance today requires region-specific strategies.
