IAI-2 - Parametric Insurance for Severe Convective Storm
Severe Convective Storm (SCS) has become increasingly stronger in recent years in the U.S. The main perils include flooding, hail, tornado, and derecho. Historically while flooding got a lot of attention in the insurance community, models and products for other perils have been lacking. In this session we will take a deep dive into SCS, including the meteorological knowledge and loss history. Then discuss how to improve data and modeling for hail, tornado and derecho to design parametric insurance programs to better manage the associated risk.

IAI-1 - AI: Claim Change Modeling and Customer Management for Insurance
AI offers a variety of solutions and value drivers for insurance customer management, applying techniques such as computer vision, virtual agents or chat bots, and predictive models. These solutions create impact by accelerating claims processing, discovering opportunities to upsell or cross-sell customers, predicting attrition, and creating leverage for customer support teams. Applied responsibly and ethically, these technologies enable increased capacity in any organization, by relieving employees of menial tasks and focusing their time and effort on more complex customer needs. However, AI can sometimes exhibit bias toward protected groups, which can damage the reputation and legitimacy of the organization that employs it. There are, however, mitigation strategies to head off bias, starting with a solid, vetted internal governance process. We will present an example of such an internal governance process that can be employed by any firm of any size.

HWM-3 - Medical Professional Liability Tort Reforms, Times They Are A-Changin' (Again!)
The passage of AB 35 in California will have reverberations for years to come. This session will review historical tort reforms across the country along with the history of MICRA and how AB 35 came to be in California. We will discuss estimating the direct impacts of increasing non-economic damage caps and also potential indirect impacts from changing behaviors of parties to a claim of which the MPL reserving actuary should be cognizant.

HWM-2 - Healthcare Professional Liability: It's All About Severity...Except When It Isn't
In the current environment, the conversation around Healthcare Professional Liability tends to focus on the issue of Claim Severity given the headline-grabbing "Nuclear Verdicts" which have become more prevalent in recent years. How common are these Nuclear Verdicts and how does the possibility of such an outcome influence the overall claims settlement process for Healthcare Professional Liability? Should we be concerned with Claim Frequency as much as Claim Severity? What other forces are influencing the overall cost of Healthcare Professional Liability in the current environment? Join us for a panel discussion on the current state of the Healthcare Professional Liability market and the associated reserving implications. Our three panelists will discuss the current state of the market from three distinct perspectives based on their own professional backgrounds - claims professional, actuary, (re)insurance broker.

GS-2 - Risk is Chaos: History of Risk and Future Innovation
The world of geo-spatial imagery, information, and data has grown exponentially over the past two decades including the technology used to synthesize it. In this session Andrew will take an encompassing view of how risk calculation has formed over time and where the line between future projection and current reserving estimates based off real time data is becoming more uniform. Using computer vision, chaos theory modeling, and 7 billion lines of geospatial data, kettle can get a far more accurate and better understanding of how losses will develop post event and even before.

FR-3 - Making Your (Statement of Actuarial) Opinion Count!
In this session we'll discuss all types of communications around the Statement of Actuarial Opinion, both before and after it is signed. Start with internal discussions with groups such as pricing, underwriting, then be sure to include claims and reinsurance. The communication fun doesn't stop there! Be sure to make the most of your time with Company management and the Board of Directors. We'll cover all the required communications, but also highlight where there are other opportunities for discussions that will improve the quality of your Opinion and make sure you get your message to all the parties that need to hear it.

The presenters will focus on specific program structures , professionalism standards and state-law considerations. A regulator from Delaware will discuss what they like to see in loss reserve analyses and what they look for in ensuring the solvency of their domiciliary programs.

FR-1 - Emerging Climate Change Regulations and Disclosures
Regulation on climate related reporting is rapidly developing both within the US and globally. During this session, we will discuss upcoming requirements that life insurers may be subject to, and provide examples of relevant global regulation. While the focus will be on US regulation, such as the guidance from the NYDFS on managing financial risk, NAIC climate risk disclosure survey, and proposed SEC guidance, this session will also provide examples of regulation in mainland Europe and the United Kingdom, where regulation around climate disclosures is more mature and may provide an example of what is to come. The session will also provide examples of ways to respond to regulation, discuss current climate disclosure frameworks such as Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), cover the growing expectation of climate disclosure from investors, and consider where the future of climate regulation may be heading.

CP-2 - Ultimate Loss Reserve Forecasting Using Bidirectional LSTMs
The presentation explores the application of deep learning (subset of machine learning), to estimate ultimate losses. The architecture explored in the presentation will be Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), a form of deep learning that finds patterns in temporal data. The results using the LSTM architecture are compared to the results of the chain ladder method. The illustrations and examples will make this presentation useful to actuaries who want to understand deep learning and how it could apply to reserving.

AR-2 - Modeling for Inflation-Driven Reserving Cycles
This session will discuss the modeling of inflation driven reserving cycles using the mathematics of waves. Actuaries will learn how it can be done, why wave methods are important and how actuaries can visualize and explain them. Emphasis will be placed on the visualization and explanation, since our literature lacks even basic descriptions of waves. The reserving topic of inflationary cycles is advanced, but the presentation will assume that attendees are unfamiliar with wave methods.

AR-1 - Disrupting the Actuarial Function?
Business news headlines proclaim how new breeds of companies, e.g., Uber and AirBnB, have been disrupting industries, e.g., transportation and hospitality, that have been around for decades. The easy path for actuaries is to just remain steadfast in the belief that this type of disruption is not possible for the actuarial function, just like executives in the transportation and hospitality industries did in the early days of these startups, but is it the right path? Actuaries have already been under pressure to reduce costs while increasing productivity, so in this session we will explore ways actuaries can use current models to increase productivity and add more value.
