Descartes Helps Reduce False Positives with AI-Enabled Denied Party Screening Solution
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) has launched Descartes Visual Compliance™ AI Assist, an advanced denied party screening solution powered by artificial intelligence. The new technology helps trade compliance teams automatically reduce false positives - alerts that incorrectly match with restricted or sanctioned entities.
The cloud-based solution features three key capabilities: AI-driven compliance support for enhanced screening accuracy, configurable risk levels with adjustable AI settings, and built-in audit and reporting functionality. For some customers, the system has helped reduce false positives to minimal levels while maintaining effective compliance oversight.

Insights
Descartes' new AI screening tool reduces false positives in trade compliance, potentially boosting operational efficiency for customers while enhancing their compliance offerings.
Descartes Systems Group has launched Visual Compliance AI Assist, a technological advancement aimed at solving a significant pain point in global trade compliance. The solution leverages artificial intelligence to automatically reduce false positives in denied party screening – a crucial process where companies must verify that they aren't doing business with restricted entities.
The innovation addresses a costly inefficiency in compliance operations. When traditional screening casts too wide a net, compliance teams waste valuable time reviewing benign matches flagged as potential risks. These false positives not only drain resources but also delay shipments, creating bottlenecks in supply chains.
What makes this development particularly noteworthy is the "risk-aware" approach to AI implementation. The system balances automation with human oversight, reportedly reducing false positives to "fractions of a percent" for some customers while maintaining vigilance for legitimate risks. This represents a significant efficiency gain in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
The solution includes comprehensive screening capabilities against watch lists from multiple global regions (U.S., EU, APAC, EMEA), positioning it as a versatile tool for companies across diverse industries including aerospace, financial services, and manufacturing. The configurable risk levels allow organizations to tailor the system to their specific compliance needs and risk tolerance.
From a competitive standpoint, this enhancement strengthens Descartes' position in the trade compliance software market by addressing a universal pain point while maintaining the audit trail capabilities necessary in highly regulated environments. The focus on reducing manual workload while improving compliance accuracy aligns with the growing industry need for intelligent automation in regulatory processes.
LONDON and ATLANTA, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced the release of Descartes Visual Compliance™ AI Assist, the latest advancement in denied party screening that uses new artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to help trade compliance teams automatically reduce the effort required to review and clear false positives. False positives are alerts that appear to match restricted, sanctioned and denied party entities but are, in fact, benign matches that lead to unnecessary reviews, wasted time and delayed shipments for import or export.
“While it makes sense to cast a wide net with screening, false positives are a costly drag on time, accuracy and compliance performance,” said Brian Hodgson, General Manager, Trade Compliance at Descartes. “AI Assist significantly reduces low-quality false positives while managing the risk of true hits. With compliance, AI needs to be “risk-aware,” meaning it needs to deliver the tremendous value of AI without increasing the risk of violations. With AI Assist, for some customers, the combination of automation in collaboration with human oversight has helped reduce false positives to just fractions of a percent, even with large screening volumes. This is a significant gain in productivity for compliance resources who can be overburdened with irrelevant alerts.”
Descartes Visual Compliance is a cloud-based solution for export, financial and trade compliance, including restricted and denied party screening. The solution includes comprehensive watch list and regulatory content from the U.S. as well as the EU, APAC and EMEA regions. Descartes Visual Compliance helps companies of all sizes in diverse industries, such as aerospace, financial services, retail, manufacturing, education, transportation and defense, better navigate the ever-changing, complex world of foreign trade compliance by streamlining workflows, mitigating business risk and enhancing overall compliance.
“With the increase in global trade regulations and the substantial volume of information that flows through international commerce, having effective screening without overloading trade compliance resources with false positives is essential,” said Ken Wood, Executive Vice President, Product Management at Descartes. “To help businesses with this persistent challenge, our AI innovations accelerate the review and adjudication of screening results with intelligent filtering, flexible control and human-centered quality assurance, which enhances compliance levels while reducing labor effort.”
Key capabilities of Descartes Visual Compliance AI Assist include:
- Advanced AI-Driven Compliance Support: Enhance screening accuracy by automatically identifying and filtering low-risk screening results based on statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. Streamline risk assessment with data-driven insights to support more informed decision-making and optimize the use of compliance resources.
- Configurable Risk Levels: Use adjustable AI settings to tailor the solution’s responsiveness to align with specific regulatory requirements, geographical or departmental needs or internal adjudication practices. This flexibility allows organizations to customize the review of results below defined thresholds and ensure full oversight of flagged entries on a continual basis as they change and grow.
- Built-in Audit and Reporting: Demonstrate due diligence with consolidated and accessible screening results that are supported by centralized, audit-ready reports and a comprehensive audit trail. With complete visibility and traceability of screening results, companies are better able to meet both internal and external audit requirements.
