"His groundbreaking research on applying machine learning to actuarial science perfectly complements our mission to empower actuaries with next-generation AI tools. Professor Wüthrich's expertise in diverse areas of actuarial science such as discrimination-free insurance pricing, interpretable deep learning and non-life reserve risk will be invaluable as we continue to develop solutions that combine advanced AI capabilities with actuarial rigor."

As Senior Scientific Advisor, Professor Wüthrich will advise insureAI to enhance the company's methodologies and research into applications of AI in actuarial science. His extensive experience in both academic research and practical industry applications will help the company address complex challenges in insurance pricing, reserving, and risk management.

"I am excited to join insureAI as Senior Scientific Advisor," said Professor Wüthrich. "insureAI's commitment to bridging traditional actuarial science with cutting-edge AI technologies aligns closely with my research interests. I look forward to contributing to the development of innovative solutions that can drive meaningful improvements in how insurance companies assess and manage risk."

Professor Wüthrich brings decades of experience to insureAI, including significant contributions to the development of the Swiss Solvency Test and Solvency II, and pioneering work on interpretable deep learning models for insurance risk prediction. He is the author of several influential books in actuarial science, including his latest work "AI Tools for Actuaries" (2025), a comprehensive manuscript that explores how modern AI and machine learning methods can enhance actuarial analyses. This groundbreaking work, co-authored with an international team of actuaries and data scientists, covers practical AI applications ranging from automation in claims processing to advanced predictive modeling in insurance. His other notable publications include "Statistical Foundations of Actuarial Learning and its Applications" (2023) and "Market-Consistent Actuarial Valuation" (2016), as well as earlier books on claims reserving.

This appointment comes at a time of growth for insureAI, as the company continues to expand its consulting footprint and enhance its platform capabilities. The addition of Professor Wüthrich to the Advisory Board reinforces insureAI's position as the leader in AI-driven actuarial solutions and underscores its commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in insurance analytics.
