Emerging Issues Power Session: Demystifying Artificial Intelligence and Insurance – Advancing Technology with New Use Cases and (Not So) New Risks
We’re two years past the widescale introduction of ChatGPT-3, and the hype around, as well as advancement of, Artificial Intelligence is still going strong – especially within the insurance industry and insurance regulatory landscape. While it can feel overwhelming, AI in the simplest sense is a tool, and its perceived risks are not all that new. This session will help participants get their arms around AI in insurance by: 1) differentiating between the different types of AI models and their respective strengths/weaknesses; 2) outlining practical AI applications in insurance; and 3) walking through the current policy landscape with respect to those applications.
