Harnessing the Transformative Power of Gen AI
Speaker: Frank Schmid, Chief Technology Officer, Gen Re

This webinar discusses Generative Artificial Intelligence or general-purpose technology (GPT). The arrival of a GPT is a rare event, even in modern times. Aside from generality of purpose, a defining quality of a GPT is the emergence of a feedback loop between downstream innovation and continued improvement of the technology. This feedback loop is expected to transform the insurer's workflows in important ways, notably in Claims, Underwriting, and Legal. Watch Recording.
