Open By Default: Tackling Algorithmic Bias in Financial Services Lending for International Women's Day

  • Tom Conway-Gordon
  • Nick Baxter

I led a global project for fintech leader, Finastra advising them to explore the issue of algorithmic bias in AI and machine learning in financial services lending. I researched, identified and recruited global research firm, KPMG, to provide global figures (US, UK, France, Hong Kong and Singapore) to show the potential scale of the issue. These findings formed part of the narrative which was supported by a five point plan underlining the measures Finastra itself was taking to sound the alarm and help tackle the issue of algorithmic bias. With a supporting team, our strategic concept became a fully fledged international campaign for Finastra, raising their profile and warning the industry about the issue.
