Large Language Models (LLMs), above all ChatGPT, have taken all areas of computer science by storm over the past year. As they are trained on a broad database, LLMs are fundamentally application-agnostic. Despite their extensive knowledge, however, they have gaps, particularly in highly specialised applications, which in the worst case can only appear to be compensated for by hallucinations. To reduce this risk, "Retrieval Augmented Generation" (RAG) has been established ..read more

The degree of digitalisation in facultative business is still significantly lower than in other areas of the company, even among the largest reinsurers. The reason lies in the nature of the business: it works with few, highly individualised contracts - but business processes that work with a high degree of standardisation and large volumes are best digitised. With the latest advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), the tide is turning: new solutions can be a game changer to increase the efficiency and quality of facultative underwriting and make data available for other applicati ..read more

The Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) was finalised at the end of 2023 after intensive negotiations between the European Parliament and the European Council. The debates were characterised by talks on the definition of AI and the categorisation of systems into risk classes. Numerous details were clarified, in particular regarding unacceptable risk (highest risk level) AI systems and high-risk AI systems. National interests and the development of certain technologies played an important role, such as the ban on real-time biometric identification in public spaces and the use of foundation mod ..read more

The world of artificial intelligence is developing at a breathtaking speed, and large language models (LLMs) are at the forefront of this revolution.
