New method offers actionable and trustworthy insurance pricing explanations

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method for providing actionable transparency in algorithmic insurance pricing. This approach ensures that recommendations for policyholders are valid, meaning they lower the premium, and actionable, meaning they only suggest changes the policyholder can control. The method also incorporates reliability by using Conformal Prediction to screen out recommendations where the model has low certainty, thereby bounding the rate of unreliable outcomes. Applied to real Florida flood-insurance claims and synthetic driver-telematics policies, the constrained recommendations for high-risk policyholders proved to be more reliable and associated with larger predicted risk reductions compared to unconstrained ones. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more trustworthy and controllable insurance pricing models for consumers.
