AI Empowers Microfinance: Revolutionizing Fraud Detection
In this sponsored article, Dmitry Dolgorukov, CRO and Co-Founder of HES FinTech, suggesets that to effectively combat fraud, microfinance institutions must establish robust fraud detection systems. Early detection and prevention of fraudulent activities are vital in minimizing financial impact and safeguarding the funds of vulnerable customers. Microfinance institutions face a significant menace in the form of fraudulent activities, endangering their provision of financial services to underserved communities. Fraud not only leads to substantial financial losses but also erodes trust in the system, impeding the mission of microfinance institutions to foster inclusive growth and alleviate poverty.
UVA Researchers Built an AI Algorithm That Understands Physics
Normally, when testing the behavior of materials under high heat or explosive conditions, researchers have to run simulation after simulation, a data-intensive process that can take days even on a supercomputer. However, with a deep learning algorithm created by Stephen Baek, Phong Nguyen and their research team, the process takes less than a second on a laptop.
