Yevhenii Zavhorodnii/Global Images Ukraine/Getty ImagesIn Ukraine the air raid alerts are incessant. Kyiv has the best air defense in Ukraine; the country lacks the resources to defend other cities this way. He noted that Ukrainian air defense had done a spectacular job that morning intercepting every single missile launched at Kyiv. The United States has essentially cut off Ukraine, and Ukrainian air defense is quickly running out of ammunition. After we landed back in JFK, we turned off the air raid sound on our phones.

Markiewicz's company uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help financial institutions fight these issues in a bid to cut the amount of resources it takes to tackle crime, keeping banks in the good books of regulators. These smaller models combine to form Silent Eight's software that some of the largest banks in the world, from Standard Chartered to HSBC , are using to fight financial crime. Markiewicz said Silent Eight's AI models were actually trained on the processes that human investigators were carrying out within financial institutions. "So we just knew that we will have to start with some big financial institutions first, for the other ones to know that there is no risk and follow." Silent Eight's headquarters is in Singapore with offices in New York, London, and Warsaw, Poland.
