With a mission to foster societal resilience, Swiss Re can count on over 500 researchers to anticipate major trends and develop innovative solutions for new risks. During this luncheon, you'll get access to the latest insights into algorithmic risk. As we increasingly cede decision-making control to machines, what are the main risks involved and how can we build resilience into AI-driven systems?

Digital transformation is on everyone's mind, so will the big tech companies take over insurance as they've done with other industries? We'll explore the power of ecosystems as platforms to analyze risks and offer protection. And you will learn why buying your car insurance will never look the same again.

Digital technologies are changing our lives and economies for the better. Billions of devices are connected by the Internet of Things, interacting on a new level. These technologies are changing the way we live, travel, communicate and work. They generate new opportunities but also pose new (unknown) risks. What is the role of trust in the shift from tangible to digital?

Beyond machine and digital, we'll share some of our research on people's behavior. How can people be encouraged to think about their future selves? How could insurers design their customer journeys to meet these behavioral patterns?

We look forward to engaging and challenging conversations about digital ethics and how best to build a human-welfare-focused digital society.
