AI systems in finance and insurance carry significant opportunities and risks. This episode introduces applications such as credit scoring, fraud detection, underwriting, and claims processing. Learners explore ethical challenges around fairness in credit decisions, transparency for consumers, and accountability for financial harms. Regulatory frameworks such as equal credit opportunity laws and insurance oversight are emphasized as critical compliance drivers.
Examples illustrate adoption in practice. Credit models expand access but risk discrimination if bias is unaddressed, while fraud detection systems reduce losses but create false positives that frustrate customers. Insurance underwriting benefits from predictive modeling but faces scrutiny for fairness in premium calculations. Learners are shown how audits, explainability tools, and fairness metrics provide safeguards. By the end, it is clear that responsible AI in finance and insurance requires balancing efficiency and innovation with transparency, fairness, and strict regulatory adherence.
