Recent advances in AI technology have had, and will continue to have, profound impact on all industries, including insurance. However, insurance analytics professionals, and actuaries in particular, being some of the most quantitatively minded businesspeople, have a unique opportunity to embrace AI and open research and modernize the profession. We introduce Kasa AI, a not-for-profit community initiative for open research and software development for insurance analytics. Inspired by rOpenSci and Bioconductor, we hope to bring together the insurance community to solve the most impactful problems.
