The 2019 Payments Canada SUMMIT – Democratizing credit with AI
Speakers: Yves-Gabriel Leboeuf, Flinks
David Furlong, National Bank
Stephen Gardiner, Accenture Digital
Most people need loans to make life’s biggest purchases – house, education, car and so much more. But not everyone has equal access to lending. Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, sex and/or religion is a huge concern. On the other hand, AI can also be perceived as a threat within the lending market. Will it compromise security? Will it be ethical? Will it be just as biased as humans can be? This conference offers a 360-degree view of the potential and challenges of democratizing credit with AI.
