Dive into the transformative world of AI in this full-day workshop designed specifically for actuaries and insurance professionals. The session walks through foundational neural network models (Feedforward, CNNs, RNNs, Transformers) and culminates in hands-on experience with advanced GenAI techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
Participants build classification models and a mini GenAI app tailored for insurance, gaining the knowledge and tools to integrate AI into actuarial practice.
