About this episode

AI Efficiency to AI Trust Artificial intelligence offers organizations tremendous opportunities for speed and scale—but how can they ensure trust, judgment and accountability keep pace? In this episode of the Get Plugged In Podcast, Dale Hall, Managing Director of Research at the Society of Actuaries Research Institute, is joined by Steven Abel, Partner at Oliver Wyman, to explore the practical use, governance and oversight of artificial intelligence. The conversation examines why AI-generated outputs can appear credible even when the underlying analysis may be incomplete or incorrect, how organizations can maintain professional skepticism as AI adoption expands, and what controls are needed to understand and reconstruct significant AI-influenced decisions. Steven also shares his perspective on the role actuaries could play in governing and validating consequential AI systems in the years ahead. Tune in to learn how organizations and actuarial professionals can move beyond AI efficiency toward building greater trust, accountability and effective governance.
