AI, Technology, and Digital Transformation in Life and Annuity Insurance and Actuaries (Published)

The life and annuity (L&A) insurance industry and actuarial science are going through a transformational phase driven by artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and digital technologies. AI-powered predictive analytic tools, machine learning algorithms, and automation processes are redefining traditional processes like risk assessment, underwriting, claims processing, and interactions with policyholders. Actuaries are applying modern computational tools, including cloud computing and blockchain, to improve actuarial modeling, enhance risk forecasting capability, and ensure the transparent functioning of insurance. The incorporation of InsurTech-like solutions such as the Internet of Things (IoT), robotic process automation (RPA), and natural language processing (NLP) is creating efficient workflows while enabling insurers to provide more personalized and dynamic policy configurations. Beyond these processes, as AI will continue to change L&A insurance, all the players have to build new paradigms for competition while ensuring regulatory adherence and data security.In terms of benefits to life and annuity insurance—bolstering efficiencies, preventing fraud, cutting costs, and improving customer experiences—artificial intelligence has it all. Notably, its mass adoption meets with avowed impediments. Chief among them are issues of data privacy, ethical dilemmas, algorithmic biases, and accordant regulatory frameworks. Further, with inroads in AI insurance, will arise the questions of transparency, fairness, and accountability in actuarial-making. In this article, we evaluate how AI and digital transformation drive the L&A insurance and actuarial science fields, churning innovations relevant to trends, technology, regulation, and futures. With an emphasis on both the advantages and hurdles, this paper will be useful in providing insight to insurers, actuaries, and regulators as they maneuver through the fast-evolving digital insurance ecosystem.

Leveraging ML for Anomaly Detection in Healthcare Data Warehouses (Published)

The rapid emergence of digitalisation leads to unprecedented growth in the generation of the healthcare sector-particularly EHRs and medical equipment data. This extended the way for challenges for integrity in managing data and anomaly detection, including fraudulent transactions, medication errors, and many more system failures. Modern healthcare data poses a challenge to traditional methods of anomaly detection due to high and complex dimensionality. Machine learning provides a strong solution, using algorithms such as Gaussian Mixture Models, One-Class SVM and deep learning algorithms such as Autoencoders, and Recurrent Neural Networks in the detection of anomalies in healthcare data warehouse settings [1]. This study reports how ML can help advance care for patients, enable the validity of the data and reduce costs through real-time monitoring, fraud detection, and early detection of diseases. Applying anomaly detection through ML would most likely bring better operational performance, patient safety, and decision-making in health care for organizations as issues of poor data quality, lack of interpretability of models, and real-time detection would be addressed [2].
