Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer-implemented method of identifying a Politically Exposed Person and sending a prediction of whether the photograph of the potential customer is a particular Politically Exposed Person to a client. According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for identifying a Politically Exposed Person, comprising: a computer-readable medium; a client server; and one or more processors configured for training a machine learning model to detect faces in the images associated with the one or more identifies of government officials.

Claims (34)

1 . A computer-implemented method of identifying a Politically Exposed Person, comprising:

defining one or more data source URLs listing identities of government officials;

sending a GET request to retrieve government official identity data from one or more of the first data source URLs;

storing one or more identities of government officials in a .csv file;

querying one or more second data source URLs containing one or more images associated with the one or more identifies of government officials;

storing one or more images associated with the one or more identifies of government officials in S3 cloud storage;

training a machine learning model to detect faces in the images associated with the one or more identifies of government officials;

receiving a photograph of a potential customer from a client server via a RESTful API;

presenting the photograph of the potential customer to the machine learning model;

calculating in the machine learning model a likelihood that the photograph of the potential customer matches an identity of a government official in the S3 cloud storage; and

providing, through the RESTful API to the client server, a prediction of whether the photograph of the potential customer is a particular Politically Exposed Person based on the calculated likelihood.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the photograph of the potential customer is a photograph contained on an identification document.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the identification document is a passport.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the identification document is a driver's license.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a dossier with the prediction.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining if one or more second data source URLs containing one or more images associated with the one or more identifies of government officials has been created by using generative AI.

7 . A system for identifying a Politically Exposed Person, comprising:

a computer-readable medium;

a client server; and

one or more processors configured for:

defining one or more first data source URLs listing identities of government officials;

sending a GET request to retrieve government official identity data from one or more of the first data source URLs;

storing one or more identities of government officials in a .csv file;

querying one or more second data source URLs containing one or more images associated with the one or more identifies of government officials;

storing one or more images associated with the one or more identifies of government officials in S3 cloud storage;

training a machine learning model to detect faces in the images associated with the one or more identifies of government officials;

receiving a photograph of a potential customer from the client server via a RESTful API;

presenting the photograph of the potential customer to the machine learning model;

calculating in the machine learning model a likelihood that the photograph of the potential customer matches an identity of a government official in the S3 cloud storage; and

providing, through the RESTful API to the client server, a prediction of whether the photograph of the potential customer is a particular Politically Exposed Person based on the calculated likelihood.

8 . The system for identifying a Politically Exposed Person of claim 7 , further comprising an input/output device communicatively connected to the client server.

9 . The system for identifying a Politically Exposed Person of claim 8 , wherein the photograph of the potential customer is received from the input/output device.

10 . The system for identifying a Politically Exposed Person of claim 7 , further comprising a display device communicatively connected to the client server.

11 . The system for identifying a Politically Exposed Person of claim 10 , wherein the prediction is displayed on the display device.
