Speaker: Jeff Heaton, Ph.D., FLMI, Vice President, Data Science, RGA

In this video, RGA’s Jeff Heaton discusses advances in AI that have been applied by Google to master the game of chess using simulated data, and how this technology can support life insurance underwriting. He describes ways in which big data effectively supports actuarial functions, and challenges of relying on simulated data alone to model real world problems.
