EAA Web Session: "Fit4AI compact"
Introduction & Programme
The two-day online web session is aimed at actuaries interested in getting started in the broad field of artificial intelligence. The aim is to teach key terms in the field of data science and artificial intelligence, essential concepts of machine learning, and social and regulatory frameworks. Developments in generative artificial intelligence will also be discussed. In addition to methodological and mathematical background information, the seminar focuses on practical knowledge, suggestions, and assistance for participants' own work. The procedures and concepts taught are clearly illustrated and motivated using actuarial use cases from various sectors of the insurance industry.

Learning Objectives & Approach
Note: According to Article 4 of the European Union's AI Regulation (AI Act), all persons working with AI must have the necessary AI competence. Participants in the seminar will receive confirmation of their AI competence for actuarial use cases in insurance.
Participants
The two-day online web session is aimed at (almost) all (!) actuaries - apart from those who already work intensively with data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence on a daily basis. No prior knowledge is required to participate in the seminar - participants should have an actuarial background.
Technical Requirements
Please check with your IT department if your firewall and computer settings support web session participation (the programme Zoom will be used for this online training). Please also make sure to join the web session with a stable internet connection.
