UVA Data Points Podcast: The Transformative Role of AI in the Credit Industry

UVA School of Data Science graduates pursue many career paths, including government, health care, technology, retail, and ... finance. In this episode, we hear from two UVA Data Science alumni who put their degrees to work every day in their roles at Octus, a financial services company that uses data to provide insights to its clients in banking and legal services.

They discuss the integration of AI into various industries, the challenges of information overload, and the role of human expertise. We welcome Charu Rawat and Yihnew Eshetu, who earned their M.S. in Data Science degrees from UVA in 2019 and 2021, respectively, and Ben Rogers, vice president of AI and advanced analytics at Permira.
