Rising financial fraud impacts industries, economies, and consumers, creating a need for advanced technological solutions. Compliance frameworks help detect and prevent illicit activities like money laundering, market manipulation, etc. However, with the rise of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, traditional detection methods are ineffective. As a result, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a vital tool for combating fraud in the cryptocurrency sector. This systematic review examines the integration of AI in compliance for cryptocurrency fraud detection between 2014 and 2025, analyzing its evolution, methodologies, and emerging trends. Using RStudio (Biblioshiny) and VOSviewer, 353 peer-reviewed studies from leading databases including SciSpace, Elicit, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science were analyzed following the PRISMA methodology. Key trends include the adoption of machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and generative AI technologies to improve efficiency and innovation in fraud detection. However, challenges persist, including limited transparency in AI models, regulatory fragmentation, and limited access to quality data, all of which hinder effective fraud detection. The long-term real-world effectiveness of AI tools remains underexplored. This review highlights the trajectory of AI in compliance, identifies areas for further research, and emphasizes bridging theory and practice to strengthen fraud detection in cryptocurrency transactions.

Naturalistic Driving Studies (NDS) register data in real driving situations, trying to extract conclusions about how real drivers behave in specific situations, and for this purpose unobtrusive devices are used. In this paper, we present our work analyzing brain activity using Muse, a wearable electroencephalography (EEG) brain band, and an ad-hoc Android smartphone application. Our study is focuses in a specific maneuver: the roundabouts, and in the comparison between the brainwaves produced in that handling and in a straight section. For this purpose we made the same route in different moments of the day and under different weather conditions, and we isolate a specific stretch of six roundabouts and a straight one. Then we compare the beta and gamma brainwaves obtained in this two different maneuvers, which occurs in normal brain alert consciousness, attention or concentration states.

Understanding naturalistic driving in complex scenarios is an important step towards autonomous driving, and several approaches have been adopted for modeling driver’s behaviors. This paper presents the methodology known as “Think Aloud Protocol” to model driving. This methodology is a data-gathering technique in which drivers are asked to verbalize their thoughts as they are driving which are then recorded, and the ensuing analysis of the audios and videos permits to derive driving rules. The goal of this paper is to show how think aloud methodology is applied in the naturalistic driving area, and to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach to derive driving rules. The paper presents, firstly, the background of the think aloud methodology and then presents the application of this methodology to driving in roundabouts. The general deployment of this methodology consists of several stages: driver preparation, data collection, audio and video processing, generation of coded transcript files, and the generation of driving rules. The main finding of this study is that think aloud protocol can be applied to naturalistic driving, and even some potential limitations as discussed in the paper, the presented methodology is a relatively easy approach to derive driving rules.

Learning from human driver’s strategies for undertaking complex traffic scenarios has the potential to improve decision-making methods for designing ADAS systems, as well as for design self-driving rules for automated vehicles. This paper proposes a human-like decision-making algorithm built up from human drivers experiential naturalistic driving. The approach of this work consists of exploring two main techniques. Firstly, the use of “think aloud protocol” to build a dataset based on naturalistic driving, capturing driver’s intentions. Afterwards, the technique of decision tree is used to generate an algorithm to categorize driving patterns as a function of circumstantial driving parameters. The study is focused on simple roundabouts in presence of other vehicles. The decision tree is translated into algorithmic rules, where the tree pathways are represented as ’if-then’ rules. Finally, the accuracy of the driver behavior model has been assessed, yielding promising results.
