STAY TUNED! If you are anticipating additional search filters by attribute and level to align with the CAS Capability Model, it is coming later this Summer. As the CAS begins to code recorded sessions by specific attributes and levels (starting with the 2023 Annual Meeting), these will be tagged in the CAS database of presentations going forward and should be searchable.
But you may use the Capability Model now to help you identify topics. For example, if you want to move up one level under the content area “Functional Expertise,” you may search topics in the particular functional area to expand your knowledge.

CS-8 - Professionalism: Skit Based Session, Based on New Aon Skits
CAS members are required to invest three CE hours a year to review professionalism topics. One reason is that we all have times in our career where there is pressure to cut a corner or compromise our principles for sake of expediency, to avoid embarrassment, or due to other pressures. One way to prepare for these challenges is to see others in a similar situation and to learn from their experience and mistakes. In this session, skits are presented in which an actuary had pressure to compromise on our professional principles. In addition to viewing the skits, we will present the relevant precepts from the code of conduct and discuss insights and practical challenges that arise in their implementation. Come prepared to interact with the speakers and the audience!

This session will introduce the key concepts actuaries need to know in relation to the impact of climate change and detail areas of practice where actuaries have a crucial role to play, both within insurers and at other businesses. Specifically the session will cover: ? The key climate change risks that insurers need to consider including physical and transition risks ? Climate change insurance regulatory considerations (including SEC and DOI specific developments) and stakeholder overview (e.g. investor preferences) ? Relevant climate change reporting standards, including TCFD ? Climate change risk assessments and integration into risk management frameworks ? Climate change scenario testing - data and methodologies ? Impact of recent extreme weather events on historical claims experience and reserving strategies for future climate uncertainties. ? What does this mean for actuaries and what is our role?

CS-6 - CAS Race and Insurance Pricing Research - Defining Discrimination and Quantifying Disparate Impact in Insurance
As the insurance industry focuses attention on potential racial bias across all practice areas, CAS actuaries are being called to understand, and asses the issues and develop solutions. This session will provide an overview of two new research briefs commissioned as part of the Casualty Actuarial Society's Approach to Race and Insurance Pricing - Defining Discrimination in Insurance and Methods for Quantifying Disparate Impact in Insurance. Kuda Chibanda will present key terminology being used in the industry debate on race and insurance, such as protected class, fair and unfair discrimination, proxy discrimination and disparate impact, and explain the implications of conflicting definitions of these terms. Next, Roosevelt Mosely will dive into the issue of disparate impact and compare several potential statistical methods that actuaries can apply to measure fairness in the context of insurance rating.

CS-40 - Understanding the Big Picture: What are the Downstream Impacts of YOUR Analysis or Model?
In this session, we will discuss how the work of a single Actuary or team of Actuaries impacts (or could impact) other functional areas within an insurance company. We will examine these downstream impacts through the lens of the Pricing, Reserving and Capital Modeling Actuary and will touch on the impacts across these functional areas as well as other functional areas including Underwriting, Risk Management, Finance and Asset Management. Throughout this session, the audience will receive tips on how they can break down functional silos and enhance cross-functional collaboration through improved inter-disciplinary communication and the creation of analyses / models which reflect a more holistic understanding of the impacts of their work across the firm.

CS-38 - The Start Up Nation: Innovation and Actuarial Opportunities in Israel
The pace of innovation in Israel has inspired its nickname as "The Start Up Nation." What are the implications for actuaries? This presentation will be divided into two parts. (1) An overview of the actuarial profession in Israel, its activities, and the growing roles actuaries have in the insurance and pensions industries. (2) A review of the innovation ecosystem in Israel in general and Insurtech in particular; its impact on insurance companies, including steps taken by the regulator to promote technological innovation; and how actuaries may become involved in this expanding activity.
Note: The CAS and the Israel Actuarial Association (ILAA) have recently signed a memorandum of Understanding to jointly partner on various professional matters as part of both societies' international initiative to promote actuarial collaborative interaction, cooperation and exchange.

CS-37 - The Road to Vehicle Automation from an Insurance Perspective
IIHS-HLDI researchers have recently completed groundbreaking research that significantly expands our understanding of the impact of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and driving automation on highway safety and auto insurance. Currently, the most advanced vehicles for sale in the US have Level 2 automation, but the effect on claim frequency is mixed for these systems. The impact of these systems on repair costs and collision claim severities is complex. The enabling sensors can be expensive when damaged because in addition to being replaced, they often need to be recalibrated. However, a deep look at the affected claims has revealed that at least some of the changes in claim severities are due to mean shifting related to the operational speeds of the systems. Finally, the variability in effectiveness of advanced driver assistance systems by vehicle age, driver age, mileage, and registered vehicle density will be examined.

CS-33 - Social Media: A New Frontier for The Modern Actuary
Analytics is becoming ever more intrinsic to actuarial science. It has expanded the scope of actuarial work, creating opportunities to solve problems in emerging fields. Social media platforms have transformed how customers and brands connect and engage while generating a high volume, variety, and velocity of data. Actuaries have an opportunity to help industries uncover the value in that data and make smarter decisions. The presentation will provide a framework for actuaries to evolve, align, and capture the value in social media data.

CS-29 - Pricing without a Safety Net
The challenging market conditions over the last few years and the ongoing emergence of new risks and evolution of historical risks are leading actuaries into uncharted territories. As actuaries, we're used to swimming with our life jackets of data. In the current environment, we're often being asked to price risks where there's little or no historical experience. In this session, we will discuss approaches that can be taken and factors which should be considered in addressing these pricing challenges.
