Supporting risk research and the dissemination of risk-related knowledge
News
In the era of big data and barely interpretable machine learning techniques, ensuring fairness and non-discrimination in predictive models poses a significant challenge for the insurance industry. The differentiation between high-risk and low-risk policyholders lies at the core of this sector. However, with insurers gathering increasingly extensive data, it is becoming more complex to distinguish between justified pricing based on risk, and unfair discrimination based on sensitive factors. As Kranzberg's first law of technology states: "Technology is neither good nor bad; nor is it neutral." To prevent adverse effects, it is therefore imperative to accurately measure discrimination.
The Foundation is part of SCOR's long-term commitment to risk research and the dissemination of risk-related knowledge.
