Following its acquisition of three companiesannounced this week to expand its technology portfolio in several areas, Atos has unveiled a digital platform for banks and insurers. The tool was designed in partnership with DreamQuark, a French start-up specialising in AI technologies for the finance and insurance sector. The start-up is part of the Atos Scaler acceleration program.
Responsible finance and ethical artificial intelligence
The launch of the Sustainable Investment Brain platform is part of Atos’ and DreamQuark’s joint commitment to developing socially responsible investment (SRI) and responsible finance through artificial intelligence. To achieve this, the platform has been designed to be dedicated to SRI while complying with the ethical AI principles of the new European AI regulation.
Isabelle Warnier, Director of the Atos Scaler Accelerator Program at Atos, commented on the use of ethical AI in the developed solution:
“Digital, by enabling the automation of best practices, is the key to making responsible finance the new standard in the market. By combining data management, AI and ethics, the Sustainable Investment Brain solution from Atos and DreamQuark will enable our clients to maximise their returns, while respecting their environmental and social commitments, and taking into account regulatory changes. It is both a decarbonisation and competitiveness tool.”
A platform wishing to be transparent and responsible
Sustainable Investment Brain is a platform based on artificial intelligence and deep learning. The solution uses financial and extra-financial data, including accurate and standardized ESG (environmental, social and governance) data provided by Atos and EcoAct, an Atos Group company specializing in climate transition. At the same time, the platform handles the data processing, from preparation to visualization.
This data is integrated and analysed to identify the investors most interested in responsible investment and to recommend the most suitable assets and investment products, taking into account their individual profile and objectives.
This platform was designed by combining DreamQuark’s know-how in algorithms and Atos’ expertise in data management and decarbonisation. The two companies say they have paid particular attention to data integrity and the deployment and management of ethical, transparent and accountable deep learning models at scale.
Nicolas Méric, founder and CEO of DreamQuark, states:
“We find ourselves at the crossroads between great technological innovations and the need to move towards decarbonization. Today, we are proud to announce that these two areas are not mutually exclusive, on the contrary. The Sustainable Investment Brain solution from Atos and DreamQuark has been developed with the ambition to put technology at the service of the environment while remaining efficient and financially relevant. We thank Atos for their trust. DreamQuark has always wanted to democratize ethical artificial intelligence to as many people as possible, and we are confident that this is possible with Atos.”
With this solution, Atos and DreamQuart hope to make SRI a real growth driver for investor clients.
