On 17 January, the Wall Street Journal reported that Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s largest brewer, has spent 3 years developing machine-learning technology that can identify risky business partners and potentially illegal payments. The analytics platform, BrewRight, draws on data from operations in more than 50 countries, allowing the company to monitor legal risks and prevent violations. It is said that the platform is designed to get smarter and more effective over time, and that it has cut hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs associated with investigating suspect payments.
