According to his expert opinion, AI is significantly improving the quality of bank credit scoring for loan applicants due to its high speed of analysis of large amounts of data and can bring tangible dividends to organizations, increase profits and succeed over competitors by providing next-generation financial services.
He believes the introduction of AI in the financial sector not only has a positive effect on the development of customer service but also significantly improves current business processes related to assessing credit risks, combating fraud, and demand forecasting.
The use of innovative scoring models based on machine learning algorithms is already very real and helping to reduce the default rate.

We cannot stand still – we must embrace it and then run with it.
