Description: All you wanted to know about InsurTech but were too afraid to ask! This one-day event will feature four webcasts that will unlock and enhance the world of InsurTech. By attending this webs series, you will find answers on what InsurTech is about and what it’s trying to solve. Dive deeper into the successes of InsurTech and find out how to join this established organization. Session 1 – Introduction to InsurTech Set the stage for the day, defining the main types of InsurTech companies and where these companies fit in the insurance value chain. Come discover where actuaries could play a role and the importance of the profession within this space. Technology driven innovation is multifaceted and could take place within an established carrier or a start-up.

Description: Health Insurers commonly face challenges regarding data including: Limited knowledge of how to handle large datasets Lack of a common language to discuss data challenge Limited understanding of how to use data and analytics to inform and facilitate decision-making We are seeing a turn in the market to use data and analytics to cultivate an insights-driven culture. But we are noticing a disconnect between the actuaries that are able to glean these insights and the new technologies required to handle the amount of data available to them. During this session you will look at moving from MS Excel to more advanced data handling and modeling tools (e.g., Alteryx), visualization tools (e.g., Power BI & Tableau) and expanding utilization of these tools and analytics. By attending this session, you will: • Understand data and analytics (D&A) concepts, methods, and fundamentals to help drive value. • Gain an appreciation for data privacy, protection protocols, and related ethical considerations when working with data. • Be able to identify of how to use data and analytics to inform and facilitate decision-making.

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: Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) represent an innovative suite of cryptographic algorithms that empower the insurance community to validate the accuracy of sensitive information without revealing the actual information itself. Mutation with the use of non-traditional data entering the insurance processes of customer acquisition and in-force management is currently taking place. A shift toward using non-traditional data in insurance customer acquisition and in-force management processes is currently taking place. This evolution is captured in the Australian market through surveys and interviews. Come and join us to learn about these two new research studies that open up the possibilities for the insurance industry to be more efficient in delivering its value to the society.

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: 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: Best-in-class analytics allow companies to quickly understand results and dynamically manage their business. When enhancing analytics, we can learn from companies that have recently deployed new dashboards for Long Duration Targeted Improvements (LDTI), International Financial Reporting Standards 17 (IFRS17) and principle-based reserving (PBR). Data transformations and new software tools provide significant opportunities, but many companies are grappling with an actionable path forward to implementing new analytics.

Description: Actuarial transformation initiatives often require significant investment in time and resources. However, not all initiatives deliver the desired results. Complex integrations of new data and technology pose a significant challenge for business and technology teams to deliver on time and on budget. This challenge can be overcome if addressed thoughtfully with emerging technology and business-friendly tools which offer benefits to both actuarial business users and technology professionals. In recent years, low-code technology has emerged which empowers actuaries by providing capabilities for data analytics, self-service, and visualization without requiring extensive technical prowess. Pairing these tools with emerging cloud-based data management solutions allows actuaries to quickly manage and analyze large data sets along with enhanced governance and integration. By adopting these technologies, actuaries are empowered to deliver better outcomes for their organizations Come explore a panel of actuarial business and technology experts who will share their insights and experiences on how low-code technology solutions can empower actuaries with better access to data and analytics. The panelists will discuss real-world case studies to demonstrate the practical benefits of these tools and how they can be used to achieve better business outcomes.

Description: This panel will take a holistic deep dive on the intersection of pending regulatory, actuarial, and technical developments in artificial intelligence (AI). Panelists will explore how AI and the diverse and evolving regulatory landscape surrounding this technology will impact actuaries' day-to-day jobs in managing risk, and what the (re)insurance industry is doing to leverage AI to streamline internal processes and simplify underwriting.

Description: This session will be an “Ask The Expert” panel. Several actuaries who have been involved with major change initiatives as either vendors, consultants, or project leads will offer their perspectives on how to help others manage expectations, adapt as unknowns become known, and deliver new insights to their audiences. Topics will include leading multi-disciplinary teams, reacting to changes in project sponsors and project team members in your absence, and transitioning professionals very set in historical ways of work to new processes. Plus Q&A time from the audience. This session will give actuaries insight into how they can manage the “people parts” of large change projects efficiently and effectively so that they can meet objectives and ensure successful outcomes for their business units.
