About This Event

This webinar is 90 minutes.

This webinar is complimentary to non-North American audiences in the CAS.

In the last 2 years, an explosion in the usage of large language models (LLMs) has produced widespread excitement but also anxiety about the potential of AI to simplify or perhaps replace human work. In this session we'll briefly review these models and how they might be used for actuarial work, and then focus on the professionalism considerations for any actuaries relying on these models.

Key Messages

  • You need to be qualified to do the work, not the model.
  • LLMs are very powerful, but are prone to issues.
  • You need to review the input and output of LLMs carefully.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify how the Code of Conduct and Actuarial Standards of Practice apply to Large Language Models.
  • Discuss responsibilities and considerations when using Large Language Models for actuarial work.
  • Explore potential problems with using Large Language Models for actuarial work.
