In 2017, after more than two decades of debates, outreach, and Exposure Drafts, the IASB finally published the new IFRS 17 standard for Insurance Contracts. Following additional years of further debates on several actuarial and accounting-related aspects the new standard has become effective on 1st January 2023 and fundamentally changed the way on how many […]
Deep Learning supports Solvency Requirements for Pension Funds and ensures the Guarantee of Benefit Payments at any time. It is particularly well-suited for time series forecasting related to inflation, yield curves and asset allocation returns in order to prepare and review these. We use the Long short-term memory (LSTM) method, a type of recurrent neural […]

This session will provide practical guidance on stress testing application in the ORSA context, focusing on financial risks, and provide context and foundations necessary in order to communicate […]
The calculation of life insurance products is traditionally based on the approach of commutation values, whose table properties enable extensive actuarial calculations even without large computer capacities. However, especially for modern and more flexible life insurance tariffs, the calculation by means of commutation values reaches its limits, so that the calculation approach based on Markov […]
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly moving from experimentation to infrastructure in actuarial work. AI systems are beginning to influence decisions that were historically driven by statistical models, expert judgment, and regulatory constraints. This session focuses on understanding what is happening under the hood of modern Generative AI systems, particularly large language models and AI agents. What […]
Deep learning (DL) pertains to the field of artificial intelligence and is great at extracting and mastering the often highly non linear patterns of a given process, whatever this process might be. The only main requirement is the availability of a large amount of data that describes the behaviour of the process under different conditions […]
In the modern economy, where many businesses integrally depend on functioning IT systems and digital services, cyber insurance has emerged as one of the fastest-growing insurance lines. Likewise, the challenges for actuaries in adequately assessing, modelling, pricing, and managing this complex and ever-evolving risk are manifold. In this session, we will delve into key aspects […]
