Making better insurance decisions in a data-rich world, with Will Faulks

What happens when insurers have more data than they know what to do with? In this episode of Insurance Technology: Fact or Fiction?, Georgie is joined by Will Faulks, Chief Actuary at Antares, to explore why the real challenge facing MGAs and insurers is not a lack of data or even the rise of AI, but the risk of focusing on the wrong information altogether.

Drawing on his experience across carriers, MGAs and technology-led insurers, Will explains how actuarial insight, underwriting judgement and data science work best together. From the role of real-time data versus bordereaux, to how to turn unstructured information into better decisions, this conversation gets into the practical realities of modern underwriting. It is an honest, thoughtful discussion about speed, judgement, and how to make data genuinely useful rather than overwhelming.
