In honor of International Women’s Day, we’re sharing the Financial Alliance for Women’s recent Fintech Friday session on how A.I. can improve women’s financial inclusion. Female co-founded Boost Capital joined the panel of remarkable women shaping technology and AI in the world:  Aditi Sholapurkar (SALT - mysaltapp Co-Founder),Kelly Uphoff (Tala CTO),and  Viola Llewellyn (@thetulle-box Founder). Globally women are unserved with a $1.7 trillion in unmet demand for credit among woman owned formal MSMEs in developing markets and more than 700 million women have no access to a bank account. Boost CEO Gordon Peters spoke about how Boost uses A.I. for customer service and onboarding, but noted the importance of human-in-the-loop, which is often required by financial service providers (and customers) to fully enable the most underbanked.
