Are customers ready for smart home technology? Today, 2 out of 3 U.S. homeowners insurance customers would be willing to change insurance companies to get policy discounts for using smart home devices, including smart thermostats, smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and garage door openers.
NTT DATA's national research study uncovers consumers' interests in using smart home devices and their concerns around sharing data from those devices with insurance companies.

The Insurance of Things - How IoT Will Disrupt The Insurance IndustryAtooma Inc
Thanks to the technological convergence which the Internet of Things is, a lot of data is being generated by people and objects. But Big Data is valuable only as long as it is actionable. This amount of available data can and will have a strong impact on every industry in the next few years, providing new opportunities to improve business intelligence and make smarter decisions.
Business insider estimates that there will be 18 billion connected devices by 2018. While considering IoT on a consumer level, Strategy Analytics claims we will have 4,3 smart devices per person on the planet by 2020. Such a horizontal distribution of the internet of things allows insurance companies to estabilish a new dialogue with their customers. On the other hand, it will allow them to design tailor made solutions based on internet of things based analytics.
I'm pleased to share the first Singapore InsurTech Landscape. The focus is on the start-ups founded in SG, as well as those with regional HQs or major projects (such as Collab). Hats off to a vibrant ecosystem!

At the beginning of the year, everyone is looking at how to identify the crucial elements of change that will affect their business in the next twelve months. Discussions from CES 2016 showed that the attention for a lot of companies has turned to connected devices and the internet of things. There are next-gen refrigerators that look like smartphones, smart shoes that track your running habits, and autonomous vehicles that drive for you – that’s just to name a few! But, what we need to ask is who this digital ecosystem is going to affect and what players are being left out of critical first steps of IoT deployment. Recently, FC Business Intelligence asked over 300 insurers what they think the internet of things could deliver for their business. Take a look at the survey infographic featuring insight in to the applications of IoT for insurers for exclusive insight.

The Singapore FinTech Consortium - Introduction to InsurTechFinTech Consortium
When you hear of “insurance”, the words “innovation” and “technology” would not come to mind intuitively – but they should now. At this day and age, insurance technology has the potential to affect nearly every essential insurance function, ranging from distribution methods to actuarial number crunching. InsurTech is now being implemented across every stage of the insurance value chain.
InsurTech 2016 Conference is a global gathering of the world's leading thinkers and doers in Insurance innovations and technology. It's a gathering of the planet's businesses, large and small, who are being impacted by new innovations to want to meet the demands of the insurance market.
This year, over 300 attendees will make the trip from all corners of the globe to hear from 80 industry thought leaders who will deliver the knowledge you're looking for to succeed in this arena.
InsurTech 2016 will assure that you meet the top insurance and technology professionals - leading 22 interactive and insightful sessions across all the insurtech spectrum, including:
Digital distribution channel

In October 2017, Initio was invited to participate as speaker to the Insurance Breakfast organized by Comarch in Brussels & Luxembourg.
For this event, we held a keynote about Connected Objects usage in Insurance. This is the synthetic resume and the slides of our presentation.
The first think tank dedicated to the Connected Insurance (Telematics & Insurance IoT), the most relevant insurTech trend (representing around 80% of the $16,5B invested on IsurTech globally as of today)
The IoT Insurance Observatory is a four year old think tank specialized in insurance IoT
The Observatory generates and promotes innovation in the insurance sector: representing the cutting edge of global innovation; offering a strategic vision to exploit the insurance IoT full potential; stimulating research and debate between the participants.
The Connected Insurance Observatory is think tank specialized on telematics and insurance IoT. It is engaging insurers, distributors, institutions and tech players with the goal to spread a culture of innovation throughout the insurance sector
The reasons why for adopting IoT in the insurance sector are:
1) frequency of interaction
2) value creation
3) knowledge creation
4) sustainability
An incredible opportunity for the insurance sector
A survey created by InsurtechNews in collaboration with InsurTech 2016 Singapore, involving over 120 respondents. Based on the answers collected, the most relevant area of Insurtech is Connected Insurance and this is not surprising at all. According to a preliminary release of a study jointly developed by Venture Scanner together with the Connected Insurance Observatory, connected insurance initiatives represent 30% of start-ups but have gathered an astonishing 80% of insurtech funding. Online purchases continue to be deemed as very relevant although such promise is everything but new and has yet to materialize. Things may change though if the new purchase innovation is push sales...
Unsurprisingly, respondents also indicated that insufficient knowledge and understanding of the insurance market is the most important challenge for InsurTech start-ups and creates an imperative for collaboration between incumbents and start-ups. The second barrier is the incapacity to engage and partner with incumbents. This point confirms the importance of all open innovation initiatives of the last few months: from hackathons to co-creation labs, from incubators to accelerators. They are all fundamental to allow start-ups to access incumbents and vice-versa.

Scott and Chapple are now preparing custom analysis to help analyst firms understand how users see their value proposition, and to benchmark against other analyst firms.
How Insurers Can Harness Artificial IntelligenceCognizant
Once science fiction, artificial intelligence now holds vast potential for insurers interested in reinventing their business models and transforming customer experience.
Faced with the challenges of the financial crisis and re-regulation, retail bankers are distracted from the threat of the ‘de-banked consumer’. But, as we argue in our new report, banks’ core competitive advantages are being eroded – and they face some tough choices if they are to stay competitive in the digital age.

He has a unique skill in presenting complex technology in a simple and engaging manner coupled with a practical approach.
Despite having been one of the first industries to use data processing on a large scale, insurers have acquired a reputation of lagging technologically over the past decades. However, recent innovations around Big Data and analytics allow insurers to reassert themselves as leaders.
To gain greater insight into future changes in the insurance industry, the EIU surveyed over 300 executives at life and property/casualty insurers.
As every digital advancement creates a new vector for risk, trust becomes the cornerstone of the digital economy. To gain the trust of individuals, ecosystems, and regulators in the digital economy, businesses must possess strong security and ethics at each stage of the customer journey.

Customer experiences matter, and while companies have imple- mented programs to improve them, many of these programs are inwardly based, forgetting that the customer is on the outskirts of the organization. This session focuses on customer compliments and customer complaints as a driver of innovation; assessing your customer-facing readiness when you receive the “911 call” from your customer; developing a voice-of-the-customer program that is designed by your customer for your customer; and creating metrics and KPIs that drive better customer experiences. We also discuss critical customer interactions and case studies.

The Competitive Landscape: 3 Keys to Stand Out in Your Rapidly Changing MarketNTT DATA Consulting, Inc.
Although technology and compliance are top-of-mind for many lenders, it’s important to remember that customer or member satisfaction is still at the core of every financial institution’s success. Mortgage industry thought leader Doug Hautop, CG Director, shares CG’s tactics for helping financial institutions understand today’s consumers – and rise above the increasing crowd of competing lenders.
Unlike any other generation, Millennials are faced with a different economic reality. As in previous generations, college graduates will aspire to status of home owner. What they can buy, when they can buy, who they can buy from and how much they will pay to reach this milestone will be considered in light of their debt load and that of other debt-ridden graduates. This will impact the home buying industry for future generations. Until the level of student loan debt decreases, the cost of homeownership will remain high.
“In the next five years, the mortgage industry will see a slow but continual easing of credit standards. In hopes of generating higher demand, lenders will reset certain risk tolerances re-introducing non-prime products,” said John Dyer, Lending Practice lead for Carlisle & Gallagher Consulting Group (www.carlisleandgallagher.com). “The student lending market will undergo a dramatic structural re-engineering for federal loans; especially in the areas of payment terms, default services and consumer protections.”
CG's PR Manager, Melody Callaway, spoke at the Southeast PRSA Conference in Charlotte on April 9th. She spoke about CG's thought leadership program and the factors to a successful thought leadership program.
U.S. Consumers Consider Non-bank Home Mortgages from Walmart and PayPal | Car...NTT DATA Consulting, Inc.
We surveyed consumers to learn about their views toward home ownership, how recent changes in
the mortgage industry impacted their application experience, what factors are most important in the
mortgage application process, and if consumers would be willing to consider an alternate mortgage
provider.
• 80% of U.S. consumers would consider a mortgage from a non-bank
• 1 in 3 consumers would consider a mortgage from Walmart
• 48% would consider a mortgage from PayPal
Although, consumer satisfaction with primary banks ranked high (81%) the study reveals continued
frustrations with current mortgage processes that could drive consumers to alternative home loan
providers:
• High interest rates, high payments, and taxes and escrow are the top three most frustrating
issues regarding consumers’ current mortgages
• 56% of consumers blame slow execution as one of the most painful aspects of the mortgage
process
• 32% said difficult to communicate with
• 31% said unable to track the status of their mortgage application
• 26% said untrustworthy advice
“Consumer attitude is driven by three things, price, service and trust,” said Doug Hautop, Senior
Manager and Lending Practice lead for CG. “Institutions looking to gain market share must target
customer values instead of traditional asset segmentation.”
We evaluated the mobile wallet marketplace for customer experience and mobile payment capabilities, see who is coming out on top... but the race isn't over yet! Visit our website for more information regarding our mobile wallet research: http://www.carlisleandgallagher.com/expertise/cg-insights
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
