Quantum General Intelligence (QGI), a San Diego-based company specializing in deterministic AI for financial institutions, has bolstered its advisory board with two seasoned banking executives. Brent Bahnub and Bruce Marshak, both former leaders at JPMorgan Chase, bring over 70 years of combined experience in banking compliance, customer disclosures, and lending law to QGI’s team.
The move underscores QGI’s focus on developing AI systems that can provide verifiable, repeatable outcomes, a critical need for banks facing regulatory scrutiny. Most AI tools today rely on probabilistic models that may produce inconsistent or incorrect answers, posing risks in high-stakes applications like mortgage underwriting. QGI’s platform integrates symbolic reasoning and formal verification to ensure its AI decisions are traceable and auditable.
Bahnub, who spent his career at JPMorgan Chase managing controls and disclosures, and Marshak, a former associate general counsel, are expected to strengthen QGI’s credibility with financial institutions. Their expertise aligns with QGI’s mission to deliver AI that meets regulatory standards, particularly as lenders increasingly adopt AI for loan review and underwriting.
The advisory board, which also includes S.A. Ibrahim, former CEO of Radian Group, will hold its first meeting this month. The timing coincides with growing regulatory pressures, including the EU AI Act, which imposes new obligations on high-risk AI systems used in credit decisions.
