Event Details

Artificial intelligence is on the fast track… in the auto‑finance lifecycle—from marketing on the front end to underwriting, fraud detection, servicing, collections, and model monitoring on the back end. Adoption appears to be accelerating, and regulators are not letting off the gas. We will translate the latest signals from regulators (transparency, explainability, and fairness) into actionable guidance for auto finance companies. Join us for a quick discussion focused on when and how to disclose AI use in consumer interactions, why offering human escalation/opt‑outs still matters, and how to effectively document your compliance strategy.
