What AI Gets Wrong About Your Debt

​AI is reshaping how lenders evaluate risk, but even the most advanced models are only as good as the data feeding them. When that data is stale, incomplete, or fragmented across systems, the result isn't just inefficiency, it's consumers being underserved, mispriced, or overlooked entirely.

​Method and TransUnion are bringing together industry, policy, and technology leaders for an inaugural, invitation-only conversation on what it will take to close that gap. Together, we'll share insights into the evolving AI use cases we’re seeing in the market, explore how the underwriting ecosystem is evolving toward more complete, consumer-permissioned data, and what that means for the future of underwriting, risk assessment, and consumer outcomes in an increasingly agentic, AI-driven financial system.

​Located a short walk from Tuesday's DC FinTech Week programming at the World Bank, the evening unfolds at La Grande Boucherie with artisanal charcuterie platters, chilled seafood, a live carving station, and passed hors d'oeuvres paired with craft cocktails throughout the night.
