The when, where and how to apply AI in insurance
There are abundant stories about AI creating a new revolution. Nevertheless, general artificial intelligence is currently out of reach and yet we seem to attack every data-related problem through the lenses of deep learning and artificial intelligence.
The old fashion linear regression still has numerous use cases and is widely used in practice, but nobody is talking about it. Despite the prevalent view that deep learning can tackle every problem, artificial intelligence solutions should not be used by default. We discuss attributes of problems amenable to deep learning solutions with emphasis on insurance. Several use cases from insurance will be presented together with underlying models. Deep learning viz-a-viz traditional machine learning is going to be debated with the focus on when to use either one technique.
