Revolutionising Risk Analytics with Generative AI & Synthetic Data

In this presentation we explore the transformative potential of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and synthetic data in revolutionising risk analytics. This collaboration uses GANs to enhance personal loan model accuracy by augmenting default cases with synthetic data. We detail how these technologies boost model performance through a case study comparing outcomes with and without synthetic data, highlighting realistic improvements in risk analytics.

Discover the future of risk with generative AI.
