With me today is Attila Toth, CEO of zesty.ai Today we have an interesting show planned for you where we're going to talk about the global insurance industry as it undergoes a digital transformation. As insurance companies find themselves trying to make sense of all these new technologies – artificial intelligence, natural language processing, machine learning, computer vision, – understanding the business case for each can be extremely confusing and daunting. With insurance companies being held to higher customer expectations, the time is now to embrace new technologies to leapfrog the competition. Being status quo is no longer an option. Technology is driving diversity across many industries – insurance included – as it reshapes the value chain. Age-old processes are being disrupted, while new market entrants and changing business models are bringing new threats, as well as opportunities for those who act on them. Some of the questions we'll cover today include: What is the value that AI is delivering to the insurance industry, and how are insurance providers reacting to these seismic changes?

Welcome to part 4 of my series on the AI of Total War. A game that completely re-built the campaign AI systems to accommodate for an increasingly more complex series of mechanics, resources and consequences. Rome II's adoption of the Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm is a critical step in bring the campaign AI up to spec for more contemporary entries in the series. In this entry I'm going to look at how the MCTS systems were improved upon, as well as how the diplomacy systems have been scaled up for the modern era as Rome gave way to 2015's Total War: Attila. Attila is the ninth entry in the Total War franchise and transposes the conflict to the late 4th and early 5th century: an phase of history known as the Migration Period.
