Description: We will share the latest research from the Actuarial Innovation and Technology (AIT) Strategic Research Program, with a focus on research relevant to health actuaries. Attendees will learn about leading-edge technology that has impacts on actuarial functions, both broad and specific innovations and breakthrough technology, and the resulting impacts.

Description: Modeling teams are getting larger to deal with more complex models and to support more enhancement requests from business and actuarial teams. Actuarial modeling teams can adapt tools and techniques used in the broader IT industry to be more efficient, handle large number of requests while maintaining their quality of work. Explore DevOps tools to track requests, progress made, work assignment and version control systems. See Azure DevOps in action as presenters use it as an illustrative tool to showcase these activities and how they can be beneficial to an actuarial modeling team (regardless of their preferred actuarial modeling system).

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.

Description: En el seminario hablaremos sobre los nuevos flujos de tarificación, y nos enfocaremos en la inclusión del análisis geográfico en el proceso de modelado para optimizar la extracción del riesgo en modelos de Machine Learning.

Description: As VM-22 becomes the new standard for statutory valuation of non-variable annuities, insurers must navigate a range of implementation challenges and strategic considerations. This session will provide attendees with a comprehensive roadmap for preparing for VM-22, addressing critical questions that will shape a successful transition: What are the key considerations when deciding between early adoption and waiting until the end of the transition period? How will reserve levels shift under the new framework, and what strategies can help mitigate financial volatility? What models, tools, and analyses are needed not only to comply but also to interpret results, manage risks, and help leadership gain confidence in the results?

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 their own challenges for the actuarial industry, requiring processes to be production-ready from the onset, technical expertise for integration, and robust requirements documentation. Low-code tools provide a unique alternative solution, which works well when the organizations 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. Make use of demonstrations to showcase low-code tools (such as Alteryx and Dataiku) and their use case in the actuarial space. Learn how these low barrier-to-entry tools can be leveraged to create robust and controlled processes. Discuss how low-code tools can integrate with coding languages such as Python as well as efficiently prepare data for downstream visualization platforms such as Tableau and PowerBI.
