    AI Solutions for Life Underwriting

    In this episode of the Get Plugged In Podcast, Dale Hall, Managing Director of Research at the Society of Actuaries Research Institute, speaks with Whitney Barnes, Director of Sales, Insurance at DigitalOwl, about how artificial intelligence is being applied in the life underwriting space. Drawing on more than two decades of experience in risk assessment, Whitney shares insights on the evolution of underwriting, the challenges of working with messy real-world medical data, and the operational changes that occur when underwriting teams begin to trust AI-organized information. Their conversation explores where AI can create measurable value, including improvements in turnaround time, workflow efficiency, and consistency in underwriting decisions. They also discuss the importance of transparency, auditability, and thoughtful change management when insurers move from AI pilots to scalable enterprise solutions. This episode offers a practical look at how insurers are using AI to support underwriters and rethink traditional underwriting workflows.

    Practical AI for Actuarial Modeling

    In this episode of the Society of Actuaries Research Institute's Get Plugged In podcast series, AI Insights, host Dale Hall sits down with Igor Nikitin, CEO and Co-Founder of Nice Technologies, for a practical conversation on what AI can (and can't) do for actuarial modeling today. Igor shares real-world examples of AI in action and discusses how AI can support model development through explanation, testing, documentation, and review—while also highlighting where the hype outpaces reality. The discussion covers how to evaluate AI value, spot red flags (like limited domain training data and "black box" outputs), and build the governance and accountability needed to maintain trust when AI is involved in actuarial work. Listeners will also hear Igor's advice for actuarial organizations starting their AI journey: start small, establish privacy and usage guidelines, require citations and second reviews, and always model costs at production scale before committing to major investments.

    National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and AI

    In this episode of Get Plugged In – AI Insights, Dale Hall (Managing Director, Society of Actuaries Research Institute) sits down with Ronald Poon Affat, Independent Board Director & Cross-Continental Actuary, joining live from São Paulo, Brazil, to explore how NIST is shaping the standards that will define trustworthy AI—and why that matters for actuaries. They discuss what the NIST AI Consortium is, why the SOA is actively contributing through its AI Safety Working Group, and what it's like collaborating with leading voices across technology, academia, and public policy. The conversation also dives into the next major focus area: TEVV (Testing, Evaluation, Verification, and Validation)—a practical "quality assurance" approach to ensure AI models are fair, explainable, reliable, and ready for regulatory scrutiny. Listen in for a clear, actuarial lens on where AI governance is headed in insurance—and how actuaries can lead by asking the right risk questions.
