SENSE Consortium Article #11 Can the use of IoT help reduce claims inflation in the commercial property market
📣 Exciting news! I’ll be speaking at the leading invite-only global InsurTech conference, the Insurtech Symposium 2023 (ITS23) in Cologne.
I can’t wait to connect with other like-minded professionals and exchange ideas. If you’re a guest at this exclusive conference as well, be sure to stop by and say hello! Let’s learn from each other and make some great lasting connections.
This book clearly articulates the dangers of blindly applying Big Data and AI techniques to solve our challenges. It unearths the inherent risks of applying the outputs of a computer model without really thinking things through and importantly having very effective feedback loops to ensure algorithms learn and continue learning. Highly applicable to the insurance industry as we lean more and more on models to underwrite, price, evaluate claims and renew policies. This eye-opening, example-filled book is a must for anyone wanting to automate what we humans currently do. “The computer says…..don’t read this book….”
I’m looking forward to speaking at Intelligent Insurer’s Cyber Risk and Insurance Innovation Europe (February 7). It’s set to be a fantastic event and I hope you can join me there! For more details on the agenda and speaker line-up, visit the event website here: https://bit.ly/3GYtDNK
The event will unite 150+ stakeholders for a productive discussion on the major concerns including cybersecurity risk assessment, underwriting challenges, growth opportunities and market cooperation. No other conference on the insurance calendar brings together so many cyber insurance risk experts to address a plethora of issues affecting policyholders, re/insurers, brokers, MGAs, industry bodies and solution providers.
The in-person event on February 7 will take place in London (at the America Square Conference Centre – Cavendish Venues) and will be a great opportunity to learn, network, and get new partnerships off the ground with senior cyber insurance experts.
