1. AI and Credit Decisions

Artificial Intelligence gives a more accurate and faster assessment of a potential borrower at less cost and accounts for a wider variety of factors, which leads to a better-informed, data-backed decision. Credit scoring provided by AI is based on more compound and sophisticated rules compared to those used in conventional credit scoring systems. It helps lenders distinguish between high default risks applicants and those who are credit-worthy but lack an extensive credit history. The machine is not biased like humans, and objectivity is another advantage of the AI-powered mechanism.

2. AI and Risk Management

It’s hard to overestimate the impact of AI in financial services when it comes to risk management. Vast processing power enables vast amounts of data to be handled in less time, and cognitive computing helps to manage both unstructured and structured data, a task that would take far too much time for a human to do.
