Provenir has launched a new educational initiative aimed at helping banks and financial institutions improve their understanding, adoption and use of artificial intelligence (AI).

The initiative includes an AI maturity assessment that allows organisations to evaluate their capabilities across areas such as strategy and governance, data readiness, analytics and the application of AI across the customer lifecycle.

Based on the results, users are directed to learning resources aligned with their stage of AI adoption.

These resources range from introductory material on data science in financial services to guidance on scaling AI-driven decisioning.

Provenir has also introduced a complimentary Data Science 101 for Financial Services certification as part of the programme.

The certification consists of four modules, with quizzes and a final exam. Participants who complete the course receive a digital badge that can be shared on professional platforms such as LinkedIn.

“AI empowerment is a chief imperative for banks and financial institutions; there is a tremendous need for AI upskilling, knowledge, and competency in the workplace.

Provenir is proud to be taking a leadership position in helping provide resources to further the industry’s understanding and adoption of quintessential AI knowledge and skills with a range of easy-to-access content and online tools, including our new Data Science 101 for Financial Services certification,”

said Mike Holmes, Provenir’s Head of Data Science.

Provenir provides AI-based risk decisioning software used by financial institutions to support credit, fraud and customer lifecycle decisions.
