It’s funny that they managed to slap AI buzz into the mainframe
- myself248 2y agoIt's a real thing -- one of the oft-cited usage examples is running fraud detection while processing credit-card transactions. Customers want to add this powerful capability to that bedrock business process.
- gosub100 2y agoYou can detect fraud using non-AI solutions, but this way if it does something racist or shuts off an innocent person's access to money, they can shrug and blame it on the AI, then announce immediate "comprehensive measures" to prevent it in the future.
- xattt 2y agoWhat are the heuristics that AI models would use for a given transaction? Is it essentially just a “vibe check”?
- DougN7 2y agoI’ve been learning a bit about it after learning about RRCF (Robust Random Cut Forests). The ISOTree library is really well documented if you want to play with it.

- spicybbq 2y agoThey use machine learning, pattern matching on what "good" and "bad" requests look like, based on experience.
- skyyler 2y agoAI feels really fuzzy compared to the types of work I normally associate with big iron.
- UltraSane 2y agoThey started this back in 2020 at least so it predates the LLM hype. They intended it to be used to apply compute expensive fraud detection algorithms to every transaction.
