Fiddler for Financial Services

Financial services institutions (banks, credit card and related organizations, fintech) are charging ahead to implement generative AI and LLM applications to enhance existing and launch new products and services, improve productivity, and reduce operational costs, while meeting robust AI governance and regulatory compliance standards.

Fiddler is a pioneer in AI Observability — the foundation to ensure the performance, behavior, and safety of predictive and generative AI models and applications. With Fiddler, financial services institutions (FSIs) will be equipped with a comprehensive AI Observability platform to operationalize predictive and generative AI models responsibly and at scale. 

The Fiddler AI Observability platform aligns developers, platform engineering, data science, and business teams through the lifecycle to monitor, analyze, explain, and improve models and applications. 

Why FSI Leaders Choose Fiddler

• Built for the Enterprise: Enterprise-scale security and support without the hassle of building and maintaining in-house LLM and MLOps monitoring systems.

AI Observability is a Must to Scale Safe and Trustworthy AI

For enterprises to fully leverage AI capabilities, it is crucial to standardize their ML and LLMOps using the MOOD stack — a comprehensive framework that includes Modeling, AI Observability, Orchestration, and Data layers. Each layer plays an integral role in the overall functionality, with AI Observability being the key component that orchestrates and enhances the other layers by providing governance, interpretability, and ML and LLM monitoring to improve operational performance and mitigate risks.

This holistic approach not only enhances the reliability and accuracy of AI but also ensures compliance and reduces the likelihood of issues, thereby supporting the enterprise’s overall strategic goals.

Fiddler Supports Advanced and Complex Use Cases for FSIs

Generative AI Use Cases

• AI Chatbots:
  • Boost investor value and confidence with accurate financial advice and recommendations from AI chatbots. 
  • Ensure the accuracy, safety, privacy, and correctness of NLP and LLM-based chatbot conversations. Monitor key metrics such as hallucination rates, toxicity levels, and user feedback to maintain high performance in chatbot interactions.‍
• Internal Copilot Applications:
  • Enhance employee productivity and boost their confidence in decision-making.
  • Boost your employees’ confidence and trust in information generated by LLM applications for business-critical projects. Fiddler monitors a comprehensive range of LLM metrics (hallucination, safety, PII) to ensure that these applications provide correct and accurate information for financial planning and investment analyses.‍
• Risk Management
  • Detect adversarial attacks and data leakage.
  • Detect jailbreaks and prompt injection attacks that risk LLM applications from exposing sensitive enterprise and customer information. Visualize patterns in a 3D UMAP and identify all prompt injection attacks using Fiddler’s Slice and Explain.‍
• Content Summarization
  • Deliver highly accurate summaries for your users.
  • Enhance the accuracy of LLM summarization by monitoring hallucination metrics such as faithfulness, answer/context relevance, coherence, and consistency using Fiddler Trust Models. Quickly detect signs of hallucination, diagnose and address their root causes before inaccurate LLM summarizations can impact the enterprise and its users.
• LLM Cost Management
  • Increase LLM operational efficiency gains.
  • Track the costs of using LLM applications by obtaining a complete view of your LLM costs, latency, and session length. Use Fiddler’s custom metrics to measure efficiency gains, helping streamline processes and enhance productivity. 

Predictive Use Cases

• Customer Risk Assessment
  • Improve the accuracy in credit, lending, and underwriting assessments.
  • Gain actionable insights into the performance of your credit, lending and underwriting models. Conduct root cause analysis to identify the features contributing to drift, and leverage Fiddler’s ‘Slice and Explain’ capability to further analyze dataset segments, including feature impact, correlation, and distribution. ‍
• Fraud Detection‍
  • Safeguard the company and customers from fraudulent activities, and reduce the risk of financial loss.
  • Improve the detection of fraudulent transactions by closely monitoring subtle shifts in data caused by models processing highly imbalanced data inputs, and get real-time alerts as soon as anomalies come up.
• Personalized Recommendations
  • Delight customers with personalized recommendations.  
  • Use Fiddler to uncover why segments of customers are offered specific products and services, and which factors contribute to those recommendations. Understand which attributes from segments of customers contribute to product recommendations.
• Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance
  • Safeguard predictive and generative AI applications, and minimize risks and adverse consequences. 
  • Streamline Model Risk Management (MRM) and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) workflows with Fiddler. Enhance oversight of all your ML models and LLMs through a centralized platform. Utilize the Fiddler Report Generator to create fully customizable reports for periodic audits and MRM and GRC reviews, ensuring models remain compliant, safe, and secure while minimizing adverse risks, consequences, and preventing potential scandals.
