Abstract: A method and a system for automating a due diligence process are provided. The method includes: receiving identification information that relates to a customer; selecting, from a global set of due diligence questions based on the received identification information, a group of due diligence questions to be applied to the customer; determining a document source via which documents containing relevant information about the customer are accessible; retrieving, from the document source, a set of documents that relate to the potential customer; extracting, from the retrieved documents, information that is relevant to the selected group of due diligence questions with respect to the customer; and outputting the extracted information. Each of the determination of the document source, the retrieval of the set of documents, and the extraction of the relevant information is performed automatically by executing artificial intelligence algorithms that implement machine learning techniques.
