Background of the Study
Machine Learning (ML) has emerged as a transformative technology in the financial technology (fintech) sector, particularly in areas such as fraud detection, credit scoring, and automated risk assessment (Chen et al., 2023). Automated risk assessment using ML algorithms enables fintech firms to process large volumes of data efficiently, identify patterns, and make predictions with high accuracy.
In Yobe State, fintech firms face significant challenges, including high levels of financial exclusion and a lack of robust risk assessment frameworks. ML offers the potential to address these challenges by providing tools for predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and adaptive learning. However, the effectiveness of ML in automated risk assessment depends on data quality, algorithm selection, and implementation strategies.
This study explores the role of ML in enhancing automated risk assessment among fintech firms in Yobe State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing adoption of ML technologies, many fintech firms in Yobe State struggle with implementing effective automated risk assessment systems. Challenges such as inadequate data infrastructure, limited expertise in ML, and algorithmic biases hinder the effectiveness of these systems.
The lack of empirical studies on ML's role in automated risk assessment within the region limits the ability of fintech firms to optimize their operations and mitigate risks effectively. This study seeks to bridge this gap.
Objectives of the Study
1. To examine the role of machine learning in automated risk assessment in fintech firms in Yobe State.
2. To identify challenges in implementing ML-based risk assessment systems.
3. To evaluate the effectiveness of ML in mitigating risks in the fintech sector.
Research Questions
1. How does machine learning influence automated risk assessment in fintech firms in Yobe State?
2. What challenges do fintech firms face in implementing ML-based risk assessment systems?
3. How effective is ML in mitigating risks in the fintech sector?
Research Hypotheses
1. Machine learning does not significantly influence automated risk assessment in fintech firms in Yobe State.
2. Challenges in implementing ML-based systems do not significantly affect their adoption.
3. ML is not significantly effective in mitigating risks in the fintech sector.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on fintech firms in Yobe State, exploring their use of ML in automated risk assessment. Limitations may include access to proprietary data and variations in ML adoption across firms.
