Insurance risk regulation has quietly changed shape. The frameworks that rating agencies and regulators apply to insurers no longer accept a simplified estimate of what a portfolio would be worth under stress. Increasingly, they expect insurers to demonstrate a genuinely recalculated value — every instrument, repriced under each prescribed condition.
Insurance risk has changed more in the last decade than in the twenty years before it. We sat down with Tatiana Zebaze to talk about what’s driving that change, why regulators and rating agencies increasingly expect a fully recalculated portfolio rather than an estimate, and what it means for mid-market insurers today.
With the recent marriage of generative AI tools and software development, tasks that required significant manual effort are increasingly automated — enabling teams to shift their focus from repetitive implementation to higher-order design, architecture, and innovation.
Effectively adding AI trading technology to your risk conversations requires more than just a single agent operating as your AI Assistant. An effective AI team is made up of a variety of specialized agents that work together, designed, controlled and orchestrated by their human leader to tackle the multi-step and multi-role activities that are part of real-life trading and portfolio management.
