🧠🤖 AI is everywhere these days, but in leveraged finance, the real magic happens when AI meets human expertise. Enter hybrid intelligence: a powerful combo of machine learning, LLMs, OCR tech plus a human-in-the-loop for ironclad accuracy. When it comes to loan data, getting it right isn’t optional. With supervised machine learning, AI handles the heavy lifting, while human experts ensure every digitized data point is 100% precise, ready to flow seamlessly into downstream loan admin systems. Because in finance, trust isn't just automated. It's also verified. 🔍📊 🎥 Watch this clip of a Cloud 9fin episode featuring John Smullen of FIS® to see how AI is transforming loan data digitization and keeping investment strategies hard at work. #AI #MachineLearning #LeveragedFinance #PrivateCredit #HybridIntelligence
