The quantification of modelling risks is a term that is primarily used in the fields of artificial intelligence, big data and smart data as well as crowdfunding and finance. It describes the measurement and evaluation of uncertainties that arise when companies use computer or calculation models to make important decisions. Model risks arise because models can never represent reality in its entirety - incorrect assumptions, poor data quality or unexpected events can lead to incorrect results.
One example: In a bank, software is used to decide whether someone gets a loan. If the model makes mistakes, it can happen that solvent customers are rejected or risky loans are granted. By quantifying model risks, the bank can assess how great this uncertainty is and how strongly it affects the business. Accordingly, it can take measures to reduce the risk.
Quantifying model risks therefore helps companies to better assess the reliability of their digital models. This enables them to make decisions more responsibly and avoid unwanted surprises.
