The Advanced Analytics & IA for Insurance agenda offers lessons learned for those at enterprises who are well on their intelligent automation journey way. It’s not just the analytics that are advanced here- this agenda is for advanced companies. Having said that, it seems that any forward thinking enterprise could possibly benefit from attendance.

MACHINE INTELLIGENCE

Machine Intelligence busts the gate open on the Advanced Analytics & IA for insurance agenda with the promise of being a ‘cornerstone’ of the future of mobility. There’s not a ton of detail in the bullet points for the session, but the agenda doesn’t speak to machine learning…it speaks to a next step- machine intelligence.

MACHINE LEARNING

After running to keep up with that first session, dive into the deep end with this next session which promises to discuss the benefits of automating the machine learning process. Most global corporate enterprises are just now starting to unpack how they can tiptoe their way in to the basics of machine learning technology. Manage your expectations by only hoping that the session delivers on solid lessons learned from implementing ML…but hope for the best.

Automating the Machine Learning Process to Improve Speed, Accuracy and Efficiency

Neal Silbert - General Manager, Insurance, DataRobot

Organisational assessment to determine key business problems that need solving: Planning and prioritising key ML opportunities
Understanding how automating ML can drive positive change across different business units and functions: CX, Claims, Pricing, Underwriting and Fraud
From pilot projects to full scale deployment: Scaling projects at speed
Case studies: Demonstrating value across the insurance sector

IA ETHICS

The next session is forward thinking– and dare we say advanced– because it simply brings up ethics as an issue for intelligent automation. This is a good first step in a universal conversation that should, at this point, be more developed. If for no other reason than it makes good business sense to be thinking what kind of ethics regulations could be implemented finding you scrambling to follow down the line.

IA ROADMAP

Noting that intelligent automation is a journey is simply utilizing the parlance of our time. But if you’ve not yet conceived of the fact that you need a roadmap for that journey, stop reading and register for this event now. Really. Too many global corporate enterprises have short-term one-off plans for getting intelligent automation going. But this isn’t that. IA is a step in your enterprise digital transformation. If you’re not treating it that way, you’ll soon be in worse shape than you are now. And if you do have a roadmap, this session should prove to provide valuable pointers to bring back and include.

DEVELOPING COGNITIVE SOLUTIONS

We do whiplash our way forward from the IA roadmap conversation to developing cognitive solutions, but this is a good representation of the landscape. Long-term thinking isn’t really discussed enough, but we need to balance that conversation with the next shiny object of cognitive solutions. But the tough news is that you need to implement cognitive solutions now to dive into your dark data to keep pace with your competition. So you kind of need to be a visionary pragmatist.
