The speakers will then discuss: 

  • the potential uses of AI in credit and collections, including various generative and other AI tools, with practical examples,
  • risks and pitfalls of AI,
  • regulatory considerations arising from using AI in credit decision making,
  • the importance of AI policies and procedures,
  • how to create AI policies and procedures that are actionable and operational, and
  • How AI can both help detect fraud and increase opportunities for fraud. 

The presentation will offer a down-to-earth look at what AI technology can—and can't—do for your credit department as well as practical tips to help guide your evaluation, selection, and implementation of AI tools.
