This issue’s theme was not planned but came about organically to tackle artificial intelligence (AI). In Jim Weiss’s AI cover story, he posits that since actuaries are wired for forecasting risk, they can use their skills to predict their futures. He speculates on four milieus where actuaries can reconcile with AI and ends with some advice. (Learn more about Jim in this issue’s “Meet the Veep.”) We also have Spring Meeting coverage, a Humor Me column, a President’s Message and a letter to the editor that focus or touch on AI.
AR welcomes first-time contributors Jonathan Fesenmeyer, Rob Kahn and Yuhan Zhao. Kahn and Zhao are also AR Working Group Members. We also welcome back Dale Porfilio and Annmarie Geddes Baribeau who write about Spring Meeting sessions.
In closing, election time is here, so meet the candidates (in this issue and online) and make sure that you vote.
Correction
The May-June AR 2023 column “Meet the Veep: Mary Hosford, Vice President-Administration” contains an error. Hosford wasn’t an underwriter at Lloyd’s but worked as an actuary for a Lloyd’s underwriting company.
