Introducing the iCAS Almost Nowhere Podcast: Exploring AI, Data Science, and Actuarial Science in P&C Insurance
February 2025 – The CAS Institute is excited to announce the launch of the Almost Nowhere podcast, a platform dedicated to exploring the intersection of AI, data science, and actuarial science within the P&C insurance industry.
Hosted by Alicia Burke, iCAS Director of Portfolio & Product Development, and Max Martinelli, Actuarial Data Scientist at AKUR8, the podcast provides industry professionals with a space to dive deep into the evolving role of technology in risk management, predictive modeling, and beyond.
In the first two episodes, Almost Nowhere takes listeners on a journey through the world of AI in insurance, starting with a conversation featuring Josh Meyers from Akur8. In this episode, Meyers discusses the launch of the AI Fast Track program, its impact on the actuarial field, and the future of AI in predictive modeling.
The second episode features Sergey Filimonov, who shares his insights on AI’s $100 billion bet—Microsoft’s massive capital expenditure on data centers—and what this investment means for the future of AI.
Each episode brings together thought leaders, industry experts, and innovative voices to discuss the challenges and opportunities emerging at the intersection of AI, data science, and the P&C insurance world. Listeners can expect to gain practical insights, engage with key trends, and learn how these technologies are transforming the way actuaries, data scientists, and insurers approach their work.
Almost Nowhere is available on all major podcast platforms. Join us on this journey to explore the infinite possibilities in data science, AI, and the future of the P&C insurance industry.
