Insider Tips
- +Equifax's cloud transformation (EFX Cloud) is central to its AI strategy. The move from legacy to cloud-native enables new AI products. Understand this context.
- +Fair lending compliance is non-negotiable. AI credit models must be explainable and tested for disparate impact. This is not optional knowledge for AI PMs here.
- +The Work Number (income and employment verification) is a unique, high-margin data asset. AI products built on this data are strategically important.
- +Post-2017 breach, data security and consumer trust are cultural priorities. Show you take data stewardship seriously.
- +Equifax competes with Experian and TransUnion. Each has different AI strategies. Know the competitive landscape.
