Description: Peer-to-peer (P2P) insurance is one such business model where individuals or economic agents join together and pool their resources for mutual aid. The aim of this project is to showcase the development of a P2P insurance model and analyze it from both technological and product perspectives.

Description: Decentralized insurance alternatives is a rapidly expanding sector of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), an emerging and growing financial ecosystem powered by blockchain technologies. The purpose of this report is to review and discuss the business models and operating designs of decentralized insurance alternatives, which may have significant implications for traditional insurance businesses, as well as the actuarial profession.

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: This paper is an introduction to AI technology designed for actuaries to understand how the technology works, the potential risks it could introduce, and how to mitigate risks.

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: Actuarial modeling has gone through several distinct phases largely defined by the underlying technology platform. Today, cloud computing is again redefining the technology foundations of actuarial modeling and related processes.

Description: Machine learning algorithms fit models based on patterns identified in data and can be very complex. In this report, we describe and illustrate a range of methods for interpreting machine learning models from the growing field of Interpretable Machine Learning (IML).

Description: This literature review provides insights on emerging technologies that interact with the actuarial profession within the space of microinsurance for the purpose of establishing a frame of reference for actuaries to use in their work. Furthermore, it intends to spark readers’ interest in, and create a vision for, how microinsurance and its associated technologies may impact the actuarial industry in the future.

Description: A brief overview of recent AIT research papers in summarized format.

Description: This paper offers a technical overview of the mechanics of Generative AI, with several actual examples throughout. It is intended to be a practical introduction to the concept, not a comprehensive view.
