Credit Scoring is an established tool to reduce information asymmetry in the context of underwriting decisions. With the advent of big data and machine learning, AI Credit Scoring has gained momentum, enhancing the scope of input data significantly. While this has led to better access for „invisible prime“ applicants, concerns of (among other things) algorithmic discrimination have been raised. Following up on such worries, the EU Commission has taken a bold step when publishing its Proposal for an AI Draft in April 2021, qualifying AI Credit Scoring as a „high risk application“ which entails a host of compliance requirements.
