Description: The session begins with a brief introduction to Gen AI, including “what it is” and how to optimize outputs. Then, we will to provide some insight into what we are seeing within the Actuarial space – this would include the extent to which actuaries are using Gen AI on a day-to-day basis, how they are going about using it, and some predictions as to where this will go.

Description: Actuarial projects have become more intricate, involving external resources and requests beyond the Actuarial team’s purview. Whether a task appears minor or exceptionally complex, adept project and change management play a pivotal role in successful execution. In this session, we explore practical strategies for tailoring implementation management approaches. Our presenters draw from both corporate and consulting experiences, sharing valuable lessons. Additionally, they highlight effective collaboration with the Project Management Office, model developers, and model users

Description: CMS has required hospitals to publish their chargemaster rates, cash discounts and negotiated rates as of January 1, 2021. Our panel is comprised of a data strategist, an executive from a large hospital system and an actuary.

Description: This session will examine bias from a social science perspective. It will discuss the three types of systemic biases using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) model. The NIST model details the three types as historical bias, societal bias, and institutionalbias. The session will also provide several examples of each type to provide a framework for identifying the social structure of bias.

Description: Discuss various analytics and use cases using payer published reimbursement contract data under federal mandate of Transparency in Coverage. These contract rates are publicly available in machine readable format (MRF) starting July 1, 2022, and refreshed monthly. By attending the session, you will have a better understanding of the state-of-art development and analytics using MRF data, including the technologies used to extract and analyze huge MRF files, validation and limitations of published rates, and their use cases.

Description: In this session, we will do a deep dive into the potential of large language models; we will explore how new AI tools can be combined with traditional modeling to automate aspects of risk assessment. Industry experts focused on operationalizing this technology will talk through their approaches, lessons learned and demo use cases. We will also share insights around creating a robust AI strategy based on business objectives and regulatory considerations. Learning Outcomes: • Applications of large language models in risk assessment use cases • Regulatory considerations around the use of generative AI

Description: Come discuss modeling costs and its governance, as well as introduce some platforms for more granular asset modeling.

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: "As digitization and automation rapidly progress in today’s life and health industry, issues with misrepresentation during the insurance application process are also becoming a growing concern for insurers around the globe. A recent survey finds that misrepresentation in application forms costs the average insurance customer an estimated 5% to 10% in higher premiums. In order to reduce this risk, insurers must find and correct areas of misrepresentation, consult post-issue sampling, review the automated underwriting processes, and monitor the quality of financial advisory firms. Learn how predictive disclosure modeling detects and reduces misrepresentation by harnessing readily available underwriting data to analyze issues, helping insurers understand various drivers for disclosure rates and areas of misrepresentation.Advantages of this modeling to various stakeholders in the life insurance journey include improved risk selection, claims experience, and reinsurance terms for insurers. For customers, it leads to increased certainty of coverage, payout of the claim, and ultimately lower premiums on average. By the end of the session, attendees will understand: The disclosure modeling process at a high level The technical details of a standard approach to disclosure modeling: data cleaning, standardization, visualization, and predictive modeling Success stories about how predictive disclosure modeling has impacted insurers"

Description: Come discuss the benefits and challenges of collaboration between academic institutions and industry stakeholders in shaping actuarial education and research agendas. Register for this event now.
