A Brew Bytes fintech guest already uses AI to decide who gets a loan and at what rate
What it actually means
Weeks before the first AI-decisioning laws started landing, a Saudi fintech founder told Brew Bytes how his team reads customer behaviour to decide who to 'finance with a lower rate'. That's not a hypothetical the regulators are circling — it's live, in the region, now. The builders already doing this are the ones who'll feel the rules first. The move isn't to stop; it's to be able to explain the decision before someone makes you. He was early to the practice. Be early to the explainability too.
If you're already letting AI decide who gets financed, be ready to explain how.
