Igor shares real-world examples of AI in action and discusses how AI can support model development through explanation, testing, documentation, and review\u2014while also highlighting where the hype outpaces reality. The discussion covers how to evaluate AI value, spot red flags (like limited domain training data and \u201cblack box\u201d outputs), and build the governance and accountability needed to maintain trust when AI is involved in actuarial work. Listeners will also hear Igor\u2019s advice for actuarial organizations starting their AI journey: start small, establish privacy and usage guidelines, require citations and second reviews, and always model costs at production scale before committing to major investments.
