If you are attending the CIA annual conference, I highly recommend setting aside some time to talk with Tao Wang He has been working with the Aon PathWise enterprise modellling platform since the beginning (almost 15 years ago) and has helped so many insurers achieve model runtimes that are almost unbelievable. A recent example saw a client move from a legacy modelling platform and acheive over 1000x improvement in runtime and 100x reduction in cost. This was for a complex, period-by-period ALM run of a non-VA block - so a very typical modeling use case. Aon’s PathWise is the modeling platform to disrupt the status quo and unlock the true capabilities of your actuarial team. What would you do if your team were 1000x more productive? Or cloud compute costs were reduced by 99%?? Talk to Tao Wang .. he can tell you how the PathWise advantage can make the impossible possible for your Canadian modeling challenges. It will be worth your time!

No For my academic keynote, “The safety of generative AI in the public service” today at HFESA Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia conference, I took the conversation back 100yrs, to think about the role of facts, technology, politics and democratic participation in government decision making. Walter Lippman (1922) commented that an aristocrat was supposedly qualified to rule based on having a good heart, reasoning mind and balanced judgment and didn’t have to think too much about where the facts came from. Isaiah Berlin (1958) disparaged technocrats who relied on machines, bureaucracies and automation to suggest courses of action, rather than operating contextually within unreconcilable value conflicts. Jürgen Habermas’ (1968) acknowledged the importance of scientific advisors to government, yet was a champion of discourse and hermeneutics with the citizenry. …and finally the ironies of digital media on democratic participation with a 2023 Nature article shows more democratic participation, polarisation and populism; more misinformation, echo chambers and knowledge; more exposure, hate, and expression… and less trust. Interesting to consider AI safety guardrails and ongoing monitoring and testing of AI in situ from the point of view of political, technical and social history of democratic participation.
