The reality is both are happening simultaneously in different institutions—it all depends on how intentionally the AI is designed and monitored for fairness.Sam and Mac examine how AI is disrupting traditional credit scoring. FICO scores have dominated for decades using limited data: payment history, credit utilization, length of credit history, types of credit, and recent inquiries. This approach systematically excludes millions who don't have traditional credit histories, ev...
