Description: Generative AI is a frontier in artificial intelligence that can create new data from existing data sets, with applications in risk modeling, product development, data analysis, and more. This video presented by Chris Smith, ASA, MAAA introduces the fundamentals, technologies, and implications of generative AI for actuarial science, as well as the ethical considerations and limitations that actuaries must address. Learn how to harness the power of generative AI ethically and innovatively in your actuarial practice.

Description: In this video, Joe Long ASA, MAAA, a consulting actuary and data scientist at Milliman, explains the concept of the bias-variance trade-off and its connection to actuarial credibility theory. He demonstrates how machine learning techniques like penalized regression can help actuaries balance bias and variance in their projections, using long-term care experience studies as an example. He also discusses the broader applicability and future directions of integrating advanced analytics into actuarial practice.

Description: We compare two predictive analytics methods - GLM and GBM in terms of predictiveness vs. interpretability.

Description: Regression to the mean is a phenomenon that arises when comparing sequential data points. It states that when an initial observation is extreme or an outlier, future observations will be closer to the average. Health care actuaries need to understand and be able to mitigate the effects of regression to the mean to avoid misapplying predictive models or misstating measurements of historical effects.

Description: In this video Jing Lang explores the current and future landscape of AI in the insurance industry, focusing on its impact on actuarial work. She highlights the wide-ranging applications of AI in business, particularly in customer interactions and marketing activities, while also discussing its potential disruptions in the insurance sector. Despite the advancements in AI, Jing emphasizes that certain aspects of actuarial work, such as pricing and reserving, remain largely unaffected for now, but encourages proactive integration of AI tools for future adaptability.

Description: "Artificial Intelligence can bring many benefits to the insurance business, but also many risks that need to be identified and managed. In this video, Dave Ingram FSA MAAA, a SOA Board member and host of the podcast Crossing Thin Ice, discusses some of the common applications and risks of AI for insurance operations and actuarial work. He also shares his top 10 AI risks and some tips for finding the right balance between overconfidence and fear when adopting AI.

Description: This video covers the essentials of model validation and measures of accuracy in actuarial AI models. You'll learn about the steps, techniques, and tools involved in validating and measuring the accuracy of AI models in actuarial work. You'll also see a practical case study that demonstrates how these concepts are applied in a real-world scenario. Contributors: Chris Smith ASA, MAAA; Henry Chen FSA, MAAA; Jon Forster ASA, MAAA

Description: This video explains how cloud computing and APIs can help deploy AI solutions and their impact on the actuarial profession. It compares the old and new world of actuarial modelling using these technologies and discusses what actuaries should know about them. The video is presented by Arthur da Silva, FSA, MAAA the VP of Actuarial at Slope Software, a cloud-native actuarial platform.
