Use of Big Data & Artificial Intelligence ("BDAI")

Big data technologies and artificial intelligence (BDAI) enable companies to process and analyse data at a scale which has never been possible before. We are using big data and AI to

  1. Bring benefits to our customers, for example, by improving customer service
  2. Manage risks for ourselves and our customers
  3. Better identify and offer relevant products and services to customers
  4. Improve operational efficiencies.

Using these new technologies and opportunities bring new responsibilities: we must ensure that big data and AI are used ethically. That is why we have a set of principles to help us consider and address the ethical issues that may arise.

You can find our Principles for the Ethical Use of Data and Artificial Intelligence here.
