Sayari, DataExpert partner to expand sovereign AI across eight European countries
Sayari said it is partnering with DataExpert to bring its sovereign AI platform for economic security to agencies in eight European countries.
Sayari announced Aug. 27 a channel and knowledge partnership with DataExpert to expand its sovereign AI platform for economic security into government, law enforcement, defence and financial intelligence agencies in eight European countries.
The companies said the arrangement is aimed at institutions working on cross-border financial crime, sanctions evasion, dual-use proliferation and related economic-security issues. Sayari said the partnership covers Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
According to the companies' release, European agencies and institutions are under pressure to trace ownership, trade and money flows across borders. Sayari said governments across Europe are building new institutional infrastructure to fight financial crime, including new sanctions bodies, a new EU anti-money laundering authority and new national strategies. The release also said agencies need analytics that can follow ownership, trade and money across borders and that trustworthy AI with safeguards is required under the EU AI Act.
Sayari said its sovereign AI can run in an agency's own environment, including cloud, private enclave or classified cloud. The company said its models were trained on 12 years of analyst tradecraft and never on client data. It said every output is sourced and graded, and that a human retains final decision-making authority.
The company said its Commercial World Model contains more than 12 billion primary-source records from more than 250 jurisdictions. Sayari said it already supports large financial institutions, multinational corporations and government entities in Europe, and that its products are used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.K. HM Revenue & Customs, Fortune 500 enterprises and thousands of professionals in more than 35 countries.
DataExpert said it specializes in cybercrime, fraud and digital-investigation solutions, as well as OSINT, digital forensics, data analytics and cybersecurity. The release said DataExpert will provide implementation, training, onboarding, customized workflows and in-country support through its embedded consultants, analysts, training academy and ties to the European investigative community.
“DataExpert's embedded consultants and analysts, training academy, and deep roots in the European open source intelligence (OSINT) and investigative community give agencies specialist implementation, customized workflows, and in-country support from day one,” the release quoted Gino Flem, managing director Benelux at DataExpert, as saying.
Farley Mesko, chief executive of Sayari, said the company built its platform so agencies can use it in their own environments and keep human review in the loop, according to the release.
The companies said they will host a joint webinar on Sept. 1 from 10 to 11 a.m. CET titled “Following the Paper Trails: Tracing Chinese Money Laundering Organizations from the Golden Triangle to Europe using Sayari.” The release said the session will show how investigators use corporate ownership data and trade records to trace illicit money across borders.
