What is it?

Description of the topic and how it relates to financial inclusion. Example description:

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is increasingly used by financial systems and financial technology (“fintech”) organizations to assist in data analysis, metrics, and decision making. Most AI systems are built and trained using statistical data and models which will result in outcomes that favour the statistical majority. In these systems, people experiencing disabilities, Deaf people, and other minority groups do not fit neatly into the model as they appear as small or insignificant data, or as statistical anomalies or outliers. People will experience this bias in different ways. This page documents some of these impacts and some possible approaches to overcome these issues.
