The Institutes Knowledge Group

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how work gets done across risk management and insurance.

In a recent interview with AM Best TV, Adam Carmichael, CPCU, president of The Institutes Knowledge Group, discussed why practical AI education is becoming increasingly important and how organizations can prepare for an AI-enabled future.

The conversation explored topics including:
💡 Building AI literacy and understanding AI's strengths and limitations
💡 Applying critical thinking when evaluating AI-generated information
💡 Using human judgment alongside AI tools
💡 Supporting responsible and ethical AI adoption

These conversations ultimately helped inspire the development of our Associate in Insurance AI™ (AIAI™), the first designation focused specifically on AI applications in risk management and insurance.

As AI continues to evolve, building practical skills and understanding how to apply these tools effectively can help students and professionals across the RMI community stay prepared for what's next.
