Description: This newsletter provides a regulation outlook for the use of AI/ML in insurance industry, interpretations of regulatory expectations and what insurers should consider when managing risks associated with the development, implementation and use of AI/ML models/tools.

Description: "This video discusses the importance of AI model governance, cloud services and data management. It informs particularly in low-code and co-pilot systems, and the necessity of robust lifecycle management for risk mitigation. It highlights how cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud are revolutionizing AI through scalable and efficient services. Additionally, the video emphasizes the critical role of effective data management and governance to ensure high-quality, compliant, and ethical AI outcomes.

Description: Hardly a day goes by without a feature story about the latest reverberation from the expanding use of Artificial Intelligence/Large Language Models (tools) in a variety of settings. The pace of use (and misuse) of these tools, such as ChatGPT and Bard, has been explosive and shows no sign of abating. Many experts would argue we are on the cusp of a permanent paradigm shift in teaching/academics and overall application of technology. With these issues in mind, the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute’s Aging and Retirement program is interested in an exploration of this topic from a variety of perspectives. The result of this effort is intended to provide a useful resource for readers to become well-grounded on the issues surrounding the impact of these tools in a retirement context and set the stage for future research.

Description: The Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute received a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to educate insurance actuaries on the use of wildfire risk datasets and models to be developed by researchers from academia and the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Description: What is bias? How do you recognize it? What to do if you see it? This webcast will help respond to these questions and provide initial guidance on how to deal with these thorny issues. Please join us with your questions and we will have a nice conversation.

Description: How the speed of change is accelerating and how we could react to this as a profession.

Description: View the Data Challenges in Building a Facial Recognition Model and How to Mitigate Them

Description: A literature review report that looks at research on how artificial intelligence is used in actuarial work.

Description: This Q&A article discusses the use of machine learning to analyze unstructured data. Supriya Ramachandra, a data scientist at SIKKA, explains how her team uses natural language processing techniques, technical aspects of neural networks, LSTM modeling, and natural language processing. Machine learning allows for the classification of large amounts of unorganized data, providing actionable information for actuaries.
