Human v Automated Decision-Making: have we gone too far?
We have reached a critical crossroads in the digitisation and automation of processes within insurance and financial services. Some say that we have already gone too far and the human element is being continuously eroded, whereas others believe we have not gone far enough and that insurance and financial services continues to lag behind other professions. There is a fine balance to be struck. Based on doctoral research being conducted by Jeff Heasman and other sources of research and industry insights, this thought-provoking webinar will examine both sides of the debate and suggest a way forward to ensure the best possible outcome for the profession and for our clients. With the new Consumer Duty requiring a review of algorithms to test for bias in decision-making, the debate has never been more relevant.

MO5 Insurance Law – 1 day - Face to Face Masterclass
The Masterclass will focus on key areas of the M05 syllabus & the two aspects of Mixed Assessment: Coursework & the Multiple-choice exam components.

For the Coursework component, we will focus on coursework techniques to help you to adopt the required mindset for coursework, which differs from CII exams. Candidates often struggle taking the step up from Certificate to Diploma. We will consider what good looks like to the CII & how to turn a blank template into a finished assignment. For the Exam component, we will look to help candidates become more confident about sitting the Insurance Law exam, by mastering effective study & exam techniques.
