Panel Discussion: The AI Effect on Credit Worthiness

ForHumanity AT->GO Conference: Accountability & Trust Powered by Governance & Oversight

On September 9, 2021, senior practitioners and decision makers in the financial services industry came together to examine the shortcomings and opportunities of automating the credit provisioning process. Are we doing it right?

This panel worked to answer that question by focusing on three key factors of AI: people, data, and algorithms. They also explored how an Independent Audit of AI Systems (IAAIS) can serve as a framework from which progress is achieved within the context of ethics, bias, privacy, trust and cybersecurity.

Quite a lot was covered in ninety minutes, so for your on-demand convenience, we are breaking it down into a series of bite sized pieces. Enjoy!
