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

That's not math.

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

It doesn't do the calculation.

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

It just recognizes it.

Human oversight through data scientists.

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

Uh, you know, you, you, I think we're too early in the journey that we can let it run on its own.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

I think we need to all practice responsible use for a data company.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

It means we lean on some of the strongest human assets that we have.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

And as our data scientists, they need to look at the output and they need to look whether it's accurate or not.

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

And if, if it's not accurate, you know, we turn it off and we fix it.

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

Or if it's not fixable, we would throw it away.

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

Have you run across that by the way, but we would do that.

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

Oh, yeah, because we test everything before we put it in production.

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

So it happens all the time.

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

Nothing goes into production without going through that kind of process.

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

We have synthetic data, and we have depersonalized data that we use for testing new models, new agents.

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

And we don't put anything into production until we know it works.

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

Nobody should, right?

Decoder with Nilay Patel

I think it has to do with the interaction of AI to the human.

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

The way I look at AI, and I think a lot of people do, is it's a digital teammate or a digital workforce.

Decoder with Nilay Patel

If it is that, then that teammate or that team would perform a certain task, and it would contribute it to the work of the overall team.
