Improving Fair Lending With Artificial Intelligence (AI)
In a 2018 Report, the Department of the Treasury assessed the outlook for the implementation of AI in financial services as follows, “Treasury recognizes that the increased application of developing AI and machine learning technologies can provide significant benefits by improving the quality of financial services for households and businesses and supplying a source of competitive strength for U.S. firms. Regulators, therefore, should not impose unnecessary burdens or obstacles to the use of AI and machine learning and should provide greater regulatory clarity that would enable further testing and responsible deployment of these technologies by regulated financial services companies as the technologies develop.”
