Data science Use of data science in actuarial work for analysis and modelling in traditional fields and wider domains Status: report published |
Data science covers a range of techniques used to analyse and model large and diverse sources of data. This may include the use of complex modelling techniques, such as machine learning, across a range of programming platforms. This exercise will gather information and case studies on the range of ways data science is developed and used by actuaries across different practice areas and work functions, both in and outside the UK. It will also seek to gather such information in wider fields and new domains. |

Cyber risk Treatment and quantification of cyber risk by actuaries, including insurance of risks. Status: scoping |
Cyber risk is now an established risk being managed by firms employing actuaries. The work of actuaries in this field may include quantifying and managing risks from potential cyber events, developing and pricing cyber risk products, and identification of potential latent risk from legacy products not intended to specifically cover cyber events. This review aims to understand better where and how actuaries are involved in the management of cyber risk both within their firms, and through cyber risk products which are sold to third parties. |
