In this episode, I catch up with my old Columbia PhD classmate Guru Sethupathy, founder of FairNow, an AI governance platform for financial services.
About AI Governance:
- Involves three key components:
- Monitoring AI performance, explainability, and bias
- Ensuring compliance with financial regulations
- Establishing clear AI policies and procedures
Why It Matters for FinTechs:
- Often viewed as a cost center but becomes a strategic advantage
- Becomes critically important during partner due diligence
- "Light touch" governance is better than scrambling reactively
- Risk of bias or compliance issues can be existential for startups
Explainability Benefits:
- Meets regulatory requirements
- Improves customer experience
- Enhances operational understanding
- Helps identify performance optimization opportunities
