New audit protocol detects supervision drift in credit-risk AI models

Researchers have developed a new decision-support audit protocol designed to identify and analyze supervision drift in credit-risk prediction models that use proxy labels. This protocol, which includes five distinct layers such as transfer performance and feature-label stability, was locked before interpretation to ensure a bounded reading of the results. When applied to a public LendingClub dataset, the protocol revealed stable rankings and small oracle gaps, with the most significant temporal signal being a mismatch in prevalence and probability scale. While diagnostic recalibration largely addressed this issue, the underlying cause remains unidentifiable from the provided data, and subtler forms of drift cannot be entirely ruled out. AI

IMPACT Provides a structured method for auditing AI models used in sensitive financial applications, enhancing reliability and safety.

    A Decision-Support Audit Protocol for Supervision Drift in Proxy-Labeled Credit-Risk Prediction

    arXiv:2609.16102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Credit-risk models are trained on proxy labels and deployed under temporal and segment change, yet no single transfer metric separates base-rate shift, probability-scale shift, and feature-label relationship change. We contribute …
