Beyond Borders: AI, Regulation, and the Global Evolution of Insurance

In this episode, Alicia Burke and guest co-host Mallika Bender sit down with Ran Guo, CAS Fellow and Country Director for China, to explore how insurance—and actuarial careers—are evolving across global markets.

From AI productivity tools and legacy tech challenges to rating regimes and emerging risks, the conversation traces how different cultures approach bias, data privacy, and innovation. You’ll hear how EV telematics is reshaping risk signals, why actuarial training varies around the world, and what the next generation of actuaries might actually be doing in ten years (hint: not using laptops).
