Presight, a leading global AI and big data analytics company, has announced that it has signed an MoU with Dow Jones Factiva, a trusted source of regulatory-grade risk intelligence. The two organisations will explore the co-development of a new class of AI-native risk and compliance solutions designed for financial institutions, regulators and sovereign entities navigating an era of unprecedented complexity.
By combining Dow Jones Factiva’s regulatory, legal and sustainability intelligence with Presight’s sovereign AI infrastructure and agentic AI capabilities, the collaboration aims to unlock intelligent systems built for the most sensitive areas of the global financial ecosystem.
The joint offering would use GenAI (Generative Artificial Intelligence), explainable models and real-time contextual reasoning to help compliance, legal and risk teams pre-empt threats. These capabilities would be deployed within sovereign-grade environments to ensure adherence to national data residency and security requirements.
Initial solutions under discussion include: KYC & UBO Agent, Sustainability Tracker, Legal & Policy Risk Agent, Adverse Media Monitoring and Sanctions Intelligence Engine.
Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight, said: “This collaboration seeks to bring together the best of both worlds: Dow Jones Factiva’s unparalleled depth in regulatory-grade data and Presight’s sovereign-scale AI delivery. Together, we’re working towards redefining how institutions approach risk – through real-time, predictive, and contextualised intelligence. It’s Applied Intelligence in action, transforming risk into foresight.”
Joel Lange, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Dow Jones Risk & Research, said: “As business leaders navigate increasingly complex landscapes, we are committed to arming our customers with the tools needed to meet their needs and these discussions with Presight could mark a pivotal step in the development of next-generation risk solutions. Together, we’re uniquely positioned to serve global financial institutions and regulators with tools that are as intelligent as they are actionable – elevating compliance and risk management to meet the demands of tomorrow.”
The partnership would first serve sovereign wealth funds, central banks, Tier 1 banks and supervisory authorities across the UAE and Gulf, with expansion into Southeast Asia, Central Asia, North Africa, the UK and the US also under discussion.
