Managing Risk and Uncertainty: The Future of Insurance
Human progress is defined by the desire to take risk — whether that’s getting married, buying a home, having kids, getting on a plane, taking a new job, even moving to earthquake country (where this talk originally took place, in Los Angeles, as part of the CFI Summit 2018).
All of these decisions require evaluation under conditions of uncertainty, which is where insurance — really, distributed risk — comes in.
