Actuaries Versus Artificial Intelligence: What Do Actuaries Do? What Will They Do? - Actuarial Review Magazine

I'd guess almost 1,000 people came to hear thought leaders James Guszcza, FCAS, of Deloitte and David Ingram, FSA, of Willis Towers Watson talk about data science and behavioral science at the CAS Annual Meeting in Anaheim. They were talking, at least it sounded to me as I considered it and went back through my notes, about what it means to be an actuary today. That's a topic a lot of us think about as our profession seems encroached upon by artificial intelligence (AI). Once artificial intelligence, whatever it is, (Guszcza noted that the definition of AI is erratically drawn), gets cranking, it will be machines scrubbing, collating, analyzing and concluding -- yes, telling us -- what we humans should think. As actuaries we have always assumed that to the greatest brain goes the truth.
