Description: Welcome to the future of insurance, for actuaries and non-actuaries! Discover how cutting-edge AI models are revolutionizing underwriting, risk assessment, and customer experience for the insurance industry. Experts in management consulting and actuarial consulting firms will provide valuable insights into the consideration and challenges surrounding the adoption of Generative AI.

Description: As data continues to become more robust and readily available, there has been a push in the actuarial field to transition away from Excel to SQL and Python native cloud-based platforms. While these platforms are widely used and powerful, they present challenges for the actuarial industry: Requiring processes to be production-ready from the onset, technical expertise for integration and robust documentation. Low-code tools provide a unique alternative solution, which works when the organization's operating model allows for actuarial and IT to work together, giving actuaries the flexibility they need while maintaining a level of control followed by the organization In this session, you will watch demonstrations that showcase low-code tools and their use case in the actuarial space. See how these low-barrier-to-entry tools can be leveraged to create robust processes. We will discuss solutions such as Alteryx and Dataiku and how low-code tools can integrate with coding languages such as Python to create more robust processes.

Description: In this session a panel of industry experts from the life insurance industry will examine the modeling challenges created by increased investment in more esoteric assets.

Description: The SOA’s Artificial Intelligence Working Group explored the role of AI in actuarial practice, focusing on risk management, regulatory compliance, and ethical considerations. The discussion highlighted the importance of the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and Generative AI Profile in ensuring responsible AI development and deployment in insurance and healthcare.

Description: The scope of this paper is to provide a technical overview of the tools and disciplines currently in AI as well as the forces at work that financial institutions such as insurance companies are using to modernize their analytical processes.

Description: To complement the limitations posed by the static nature of current survey papers in cyber risk literature and to facilitate cyber risk research, this project features a Natural Language Processing (NLP)-powered repository and search tool “CyLit” built by the authors.

Description: This newsletter provides a regulation outlook for the use of AI/ML in insurance industry, interpretations of regulatory expectations and what insurers should consider when managing risks associated with the development, implementation and use of AI/ML models/tools.

Description: This session will discuss basic and advanced hedge modeling concepts. It will explain common hedge strategies used to support guarantees and options embedded within life and annuity products and the materiality of these products within the US. Attendees will learn how Machine Learning acts to reduce the computer processing needed to simulate the dynamic hedging of product liabilities projected in the future across many stochastic scenarios. Actuaries working in consulting, software development, and a large life insurance company will provide a wide range of hedging viewpoints ranging from a broad industry perspective to a hedging practitioner. Attendees will obtain a comprehensive understanding of a novel ML approach to modeling dynamic hedges and the hedge optimization opportunity it presents.
