Episode 30: Actuaries as YouTubers with Vy Le
“Technically using ChatGPT is very similar to our typical work every day. Let’s say you have somebody working for you and you delegate the work to them. What do you have to do in order to review and be comfortable with it? So I think it’s no different than that. It’s just like now that the person working for you is an AI.”
