Traditionally, individuals without a formal credit history\u2014such as those working in the informal economy\u2014faced challenges in obtaining loans or credit. AI is changing this by analyzing non-traditional data sources to evaluate the creditworthiness of such individuals.<\/p><p>For example, AI systems can analyze data from <strong>mobile payments<\/strong>, <strong>social media activity<\/strong>, and <strong>utility bill payments<\/strong> to assess an individual\u2019s ability to repay loans. This approach is especially beneficial for those who do not have a traditional credit score or bank account but demonstrate financial responsibility through other means.<\/p><p>Microfinance institutions in India have started using these AI-driven models to provide loans to <strong>low-income individuals<\/strong> and small businesses, significantly expanding their reach. By lowering the cost of credit risk assessment and speeding up loan approval processes, these models are helping bring more people into the formal financial system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48ead72 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"48ead72\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8d6324 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a8d6324\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f7a931 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f7a931\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Ready to take you Data Science and Machine Learning skills to the next level?
