16:00–16:05: Welcome and opening remarks
16:05–16:25: AI Risk for Actuaries: What the Next Two Years Actually Require
AI-enabled losses are already being paid out of your book — from the USD 499K Singapore deepfake fraud to the USD 25M Hong Kong CFO attack — sitting unpriced in cyber, crime, D&O and PI portfolios.
This 20-minute session argues that AI breaks three assumptions every actuarial model relies on: distributional stability, independence of events, and recoverability of loss. It shows why Singapore is shaping the global AI rulebook rather than just adopting it, and why the answer is structural — provenance as a verifiable chain of evidence. Attendees leave with a concrete first move and three questions to answer before year-end.
