In AI-based lending, is there an accuracy vs. fairness tradeoff?

The debate surrounding AI in lending centers on whether accuracy must be sacrificed for fairness.

The challenge lies in balancing the need for inclusive lending without undermining the financial viability of AI models. Experts emphasize that achieving a less discriminatory model is essential, yet the path to doing so remains complex and contentious.
