The Evolving Role of the Actuary: Have your Say

Actuartech and Montoux are partnering on a content series that digs into the heart of what the modern actuary looks like, the challenges and opportunities facing the profession today, and what the actuaries of tomorrow could look like.

Have your say: complete the survey here.

17 July: Panel discussion: The evolving role of the actuary


Following on from our survey above, this series explores, among other, themes around training, COVID-19, and also explores the future role of the actuary.

In this webinar, we will aim to discuss:

  • What makes an actuary? Our technical and professional skills, the areas we work in and our wider responsibility to society.
  • The impact of COVID-19 on the actuarial profession, the challenges of remote working, the reliance on technology and the main industry challenges and changes actuaries are facing.
  • The role of the actuary yesterday, today & tomorrow - how has the actuaries’ role evolved, the challenges and opportunities facing the profession today, and what the actuaries of tomorrow could look like.
  • The impact of sustainability on the role of the actuary and the ways in which actuaries can contribute, whilst encouraging their clients and peers to do the same.
  • How can data science add additional value to an actuary’s role and what ethical responsibilities does this generate with regards to data?
  • How can actuaries prepare themselves for future changes and developments impacting their role?

The discussion will be aimed at actuaries but is open to a wider audience.

Panelists include:

John Taylor, Immediate Past President at the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA)

Simon Jones, Partner & Head Of Responsible Investment At Hymans

Colin Dutkiewicz, Global Head Of Life At Aon Reinsurance Solutions

Stephen Carlin, UK Customer Success Director, Montoux

AI Governance & Risk Management Framework in Insurance: A Virtual Panel Discussion

AI has become more and more popular within the financial industry, and many insurers have started out on their AI journey.

During this event we talked about some of the worries around delegating decisions to machines, and how to overcome some of these challenges.

Watch our on-demand virtual panel session now, with experts from across the insurance risk management spectrum to hear how we have discussed and explored:

  • AI and its role within the business (for example the differentiation between using AI models as back office tools to understand the business versus building AI models to automate process and decision making)
  • The adoption of AI within the business including reliability versus ethical & trust debate
  • The Governance around AI and accountability
  • The operating model in which AI is being used
