AI Models Challenge FICO's Established Loan Pricing Methods
What happened
Upstart Holdings uses artificial intelligence to price personal and auto loans before selling them to third parties, earning fee revenue as a middleman. This technology-forward approach was intended to disrupt the loan pricing supply chain, including the FICO score. However, banks have since begun pricing risk more intelligently, noting that Upstart Holdings' AI models are not infallible.

Why it matters
Upstart Holdings' model sought to revolutionize loan pricing, which traditionally relies on established methods like the FICO score. A key concern is the potential impact on the lending market if Upstart Holdings' loan-buying partners freeze during a downturn.
