- Abstract
- As artificial intelligence technology develops, cases of applying it to the financial industry are increasing. However, the biggest drawback is that understanding the process how the results are derived is not intuitive because most of its relationships are non-linear. Therefore, the process of deriving results using artificial intelligence is sometimes expressed as a black box. Recently, the EU created a new privacy regulation, guaranteeing the right of customers to request service providers for explanations about the results obtained by artificial intelligence algorithms. In other words, to apply artificial intelligence technology in the financial industry, not only high precision but also the ability to explain the results must be considered. In this paper, using various externally disclosed credit information data, an artificial intelligence-based credit rating algorithm was proposed. Also, for the results derived by artificial intelligence, we introduced an algorithm to calculate and distinguish which of the various characteristics of the data has the most significant effect. Finally, we further expanded this by applying the method of explaining the modified result to the financial data to explain when there is a change in the result derived by artificial intelligence. This research has great significance as it confirms that the proposed method can provide explanatory power when introducing artificial intelligence technology in financial services.
