Can AI Understand a Distressed Credit? – Harneet Kaur, Axim Intelligence
Episode details
Episode description
Harneet Kaur, founder and CEO of Axim Intelligence and a former distressed credit investor, tests whether frontier models can reason about a live distressed situation: iHeartMedia. Given the same context, two top models disagreed sharply on the odds of bankruptcy versus a negotiated restructuring.
