This book presents recent advances in the theory and implementation of intelligent and other computational techniques in the insurance industry. The paradigms covered encompass artificial neural networks and fuzzy systems, including clustering versions, optimization and resampling methods, algebraic and Bayesian models, decision trees and regression splines. Thus, the focus is not just on intelligent techniques, although these constitute a major component; the book also deals with other current computational paradigms that are likely to impact on the industry. The application areas include asset allocation, asset and liability management, cash-flow analysis, claim costs, classification, fraud detection, insolvency, investments, loss distributions, marketing, pricing and premiums, rate-making, retention, survival analysis, and underwriting.

Watermarking techniques involve the concealment of information withina text or images and the transmission of this information to thereceiver with minimum distortion. This is a very new area ofresearch. The techniques will have a significant effect on defence, business, copyright protection and other fields where informationneeds to be protected at all costs from attackers.This book presents the recent advances in the theory andimplementation of watermarking techniques. It brings together, for thefirst time, the successful applications of intelligent paradigms(including comparisons with conventional methods) in many areas. Theaccompanying CD-Rom provides readers with source codes and executablesto put into practice general topics in watermarking

This paper discusses the impact of the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the financial sector. It highlights the benefits these technologies bring in terms of financial deepening and efficiency, while raising concerns about its potential in widening the digital divide between advanced and developing economies. The paper advances the discussion on the impact of this technology by distilling and categorizing the unique risks that it could pose to the integrity and stability of the financial system, policy challenges, and potential regulatory approaches. The evolving nature of this technology and its application in finance means that the full extent of its strengths and weaknesses is yet to be fully understood. Given the risk of unexpected pitfalls, countries will need to strengthen prudential oversight.
