Why Does the Actuarial Profession Need Disrupting? | Akur8 | ITC Vegas 2024
Samuel Falmagne, CEO of Akur8, and Brune de Linares, Chief Client Officer, break down how technology is shaking up the actuarial world—not by replacing professionals, but by making their jobs easier and more impactful.
Falmagne makes it clear: this isn’t about disruption, it’s about evolution. Machine learning and cloud solutions are giving actuaries the tools to work faster, tap into more data, and fine-tune their expertise.
De Linares doubles down, explaining that automation takes care of the heavy lifting—freeing actuaries to focus on what really matters: smart decision-making and adding real value in an increasingly data-driven industry.
