FICO Announces xML Challenge

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In a new video blog post, Jari Koister, vice president of product management at FICO, discusses the advantages and challenges organizations face when using artificial intelligence and machine learning. He also unveils the Explainable Machine Learning (xML) Challenge.

"FICO has been pioneering explainable artificial intelligence (AI) for more than 25 years," said Koister. "As a leader in the space, we want to continue to champion explainable AI and ML to help eliminate the 'Black Box' nature that currently makes it neither interpretable nor explainable. Without explanations, these algorithms cannot meet regulatory requirements, human scrutiny or customer expectations."
