Through a combination of detailed content and hands-on training, gain and incorporate an ethical framework of best practices when creating or deploying predictive models.
There is now an Ethical & Responsible Use of Data & Predictive Models – Executive Track version of this certificate. This program is meant for people managing teams responsible for providing data and AI Insights. It lends an in-depth understanding for the risks and implications of algorithmic bias and unfair discrimination with an emphasis on what questions managers need to ask their team to mitigate risk.
Actuaries, other insurance professionals, and regulators work more frequently with big data, predictive analytics, and AI. A new set of ethical questions is arising, and the potential for more decision-making to be in the control of computer algorithms raises significant new risks to the insurance profession.
This program consists of six modules and is ideal for everyone involved with creating or deploying predictive models and will provide in-depth training to ensure that learners are grounded in best practices, including:
- Gain an in-depth understanding of the ethical issues around using data and models, the questions to ask to mitigate risk and how the use of predictive analytics and AI create professional and reputational risks that are different from traditional model building.
- Practice with real-world illustrative examples and applications with communication skills integrated to understand methods of model explainability and the difficulties associated with models viewed as black boxes.
- Learn how teamwork, governance, and communication are critical for model development and deployment to reduce the risk of unintended biases and unanticipated outcomes.
