AI lending competition shifts from accuracy to trust
AI loan screening in finance is increasingly judged not only by prediction accuracy but by whether decisions can be trusted, an analysis said.

Requirements cited include consistent results for similar applicants, clear explanations for denials, checks for unfair disadvantage to specific borrower groups, and ongoing monitoring as economic conditions and customer behavior change.
