The Actuary in a World of Data and Technology

A huge increase in data generation, data capture and data storage combined with significantly increased computing power is providing insurers with a unique opportunity to re-evaluate the value that their data can provide. 

‍

Enabling actuaries to embrace modern day technologies and data science tools and to work closely with other experts in these fields are important links that could give strategic advantages to insurers in the further development of insurance.

For actuaries the rise of data at large is a sign that their role is more crucial than ever. Looking forward, the actuary will continue to evaluate key sources of data and need to find ways to incorporate data science that uses state of the art machine- learning and other technologies together with the actuary’s business insights. We need to refresh our methods and make use of emerging technological advances.

Join us for a recorded panel discussion to explore: Where do actuaries fit within the data science and technology picture?

We will be covering, among other:

    - What are the skills actuaries need to learn to take advantage of the exponential increase in data? 

    - Are data scientists and the rise of big data, ML and AI a threat to the actuarial profession

    - How best can the two communities work together?

    -  What other opportunities does this open for actuaries outside of insurance?
