AI in Finance & Insurance — Industry Use Cases
From fraud detection to credit scoring — ETHORITY powers ethical AI that remains fair, explainable, and compliant.
By 2030, 90% of financial institutions will run AI-driven risk and compliance models (EBA foresight). Fraud detection, algorithmic credit scoring, and customer analytics will form the backbone of financial services. But with opportunity comes scrutiny: regulators classify these systems as high-risk AI under the EU AI Act.
ETHORITY pioneers Trust-by-Design finance AI, embedding continuous monitoring, fairness testing, and Assure Certification. We ensure financial AI doesn’t just predict risk — it proves compliance, fairness, and resilience.
Why AI in Finance & Insurance Matters
Systemic Pressures
Global fraud losses projected to exceed USD 50 billion annually by 2030 (PwC foresight).
Algorithmic credit scoring already drives over 70% of loan approvals, forecast to reach near-universal use by 2030.
The EU AI Act mandates transparency, fairness, and human oversight in financial AI systems.
Strategic Opportunities
Real-time fraud detection reduces losses and enhances trust.
Bias-tested credit scoring improves financial inclusion and reduces reputational risk.
Visible Assure Certification trust marks create competitive advantage — proof of governance and compliance.
