Data science: A new toolset for the actuarial professional
Data science is increasingly pervading different parts of our lives, from recommender algorithms suggesting what we might like to watch on Netflix to ChatGPT passing MBA exams.

Future Fellows Articles for CAS Candidates
Future Fellows is a quarterly newsletter for candidates of the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS).
Future administrations of TBE have been deferred based on findings of the TBE Investigation Task Force.
After months of anticipation and preparation, the CAS administered its first Technology-Based Exam (TBE) this May. To both the CAS's and candidates' dismay, it did not go as planned. What happened and what does it mean for the future of TBE? I talked to three candidates who took the exam, Chloe Marshinski, Lee Drinkwater, and Dan Richard, and the current CAS Vice President of Admissions Jeanne Crowell to find out.

Dear CAS Community,
The events of the past year have reignited calls for scrutiny on systems of racial bias and their impacts, including across various insurance industry processes and practices. The topics of disparate impact and fair and unfair discrimination are now being broadly discussed among regulators, consumer advocates, and insurers. This has encouraged CAS members and leaders to further consider what role actuaries can and should play in addressing these important issues.
THE ABOVE & BEYOND ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Have you ever worked with a CAS volunteer who performed far beyond what was expected of him or her? Such dedication is often unnoticed outside a particular committee. But you have a way to let the rest of the CAS know.
The "Above & Beyond Achievement Award" is made annually, to one or more members of the CAS, who have made a recent contribution which is conspicuously above and beyond what is reasonably expected.
The award works as follows:
Arlington, VA -- Research reports designed to guide the insurance industry toward proactive, quantitative solutions to identify, measure and address potential racial bias in insurance pricing were published by the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) today.
This seminar will be held virtually in 2022.
