Decoder with Nilay Patel
Experian's tech chief defends credit scores: 'We're not Palantir'

You need to open your funnel to people with lower credit scores.

And then we allow them to adjust the model so that it behaves the way that they had filed it with the regulator.

So what I'm trying to tell you through that, it's not that we use AI to access all of the personal information of people.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

We use AI to look at outcomes, derive the data, and interpret that, and then make it available to humans so that they can use it in the way that it needs to be done in the example, so the human oversight of model performance.

By the way, that happens today, but it happens with slews of people.

Not automated, not real-time, not as accurate as AI can do.

And so we think there's a real improvement of the process there because it makes lending fairer, more accurate.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

It allows the lending products to behave the way that the regulator intends them to behave.

And therefore, it's AI for good, just like we try to make data available for good.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

And that's important for people to understand.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

A data company like ours, like I said, currently I cannot see that we make our data accessible to any public AI provider and therefore let them build their large language model based on our data.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

By the way, the large language models are much better at text than they are at math.

Decoder with Nilay Patel
Experian's tech chief defends credit scores: 'We're not Palantir'

No, LLMs.

Decoder with Nilay Patel
Experian's tech chief defends credit scores: 'We're not Palantir'

We've built our own large language model.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

We've built SLMs, small language model for smaller tasks.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

We have about 200 agents built into our products already now.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

So there are different ways in which we use AI, but we built an LLM.

Decoder with Nilay Patel
Experian's tech chief defends credit scores: 'We're not Palantir'

Yeah, it would be a small language model.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

Because basically what the model does, it reports out what's happening.

And it's just one number is smaller than the other.
