The push for AI to deliver equitable outcomes has been echoed by the Biden administration. 

The implications of AI are profound, stretching far into the realms of banking and the criminal justice system. We uncover how AI in banking might be affecting lending practices due to CO2 emission reduction commitments, potentially sidelining some businesses in favor of others.
