The document outlines the use of AI and machine learning in analyzing transaction data to identify suspicious activities through various modeling approaches, including rule-based, feature-based, and pure data-driven models. It highlights the advantages of using AI, such as quicker classification and lower false positive rates, compared to traditional rule-based systems which rely on manual analysis and can be inconsistent. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of feature engineering and the algorithm's ability to learn from analyst feedback for improved accuracy.
