Description: In this session, we will explore the opportunities and challenges of leveraging AI tools to support valuation actuaries in their work. We will begin by introducing the concept of large language models (LLMs), discussing their capabilities, limitations, and potential errors. We will then delve into case studies that demonstrate how LLMs can be effectively utilized to reference actuarial documents. The session will also address key considerations when developing AI tools to mitigate errors, enhance safety and security, and improve overall efficiency. The case studies will cover fine-tuning and information retrieval techniques such as retrieval augmented generation (RAG). Our goal is to provide attendees with a foundational understanding of the nature of LLMs and offer practical insights and ideas for actuaries to build their own processes and tools that ensure accountability, safety, and efficiency.

Description: We will demonstrate three analytical tools along with a sample case study showing how they might be applied to a fictional actuarial organization within ABC Life. The goal is to highlight how they might be applied to perform a health check of an actuarial function organizational design. This can measure effectiveness quantitatively via benchmarking how an actuarial function might stack up against the industry and management expectations. The tools and techniques are critical for actuarial leaders and managers but are also relevant to all actuaries, since we can all benefit from understanding how our individual work efforts fit into the bigger picture of an organization.
