He separately emphasized the need to prevent financial crimes before they cause damage: 'Your task is to see, so to speak, to see from distant outposts, before they cause real damage, and for this, effectively use financial intelligence tools and more actively implement advanced analytical models and artificial intelligence technologies,' the outlet quotes him as saying.
