AI Seminar: Machine Learning and Banking: a Model Risk Perspective

Speaker

Søren Mørk, Chief Model Risk Analyst at Nordea.

Abstract

The ongoing explosive growth of the use of AI and machine learning techniques offers ample opportunity for massive improvements in banking.  However, the application of AI and machine learning techniques also pose challenges to the safety and security that constitutes the core of banking. Within a banking framework the main such challenges can and should be met by the established discipline of model risk management. Here, I provide a brief introduction to model risk management and its application to AI and machine learning based models.  The introduction includes elements of organizational and governance issues, model life-cycle management, as well as technical aspects of managing the model risk associated with AI and machine learning based models.
