At the Banking Tech Awards in London, global analytics software leader FICO won the Tech of the Future – Blockchain and Tokenisation award for its innovative work using blockchain technology for AI model governance. FICO’s use of blockchain to advance responsible AI is the first time blockchain has been used to track end-to-end provenance of a machine learning model, to meet responsible AI and regulatory requirements.

FICO’s AI Innovation and Development team has developed and patented an immutable blockchain ledger that tracks end-to-end provenance of the development, operationalisation and monitoring of machine learning models. The technology enforces the use of a corporate-wide responsible AI model development standard by organisations, and demonstrates adherence to the standard with specific requirements, people, results, testing, approvals and revisions. In addition to the Banking Tech award, Global Finance recognized FICO’s blockchain for AI technology with a The Innovators award last year.

“The rapid growth of AI use has made Responsible AI an imperative,” commented Dr. Scott Zoldi, chief analytics officer at FICO. “FICO is focused on technologies that ensure AI is used in an ethical way, and governance is absolutely critical. We are proud to receive another award for our groundbreaking work in this area.”
