Where are advances in technology taking data and analytics and enhancing our ability to prevent potential losses? In this episode, host Pete Miller, CEO of The Institutes, talks with Nancy Greco, a Distinguished Engineer with IBM Research, about the evolution of risk data and artificial intelligence to predict and prevent losses that can disrupt operations.

A focus on prevention is just as critical to the success of a nearly 200-year-old property insurer, as it is to a robotics startup that eliminates the fuel that allows wildfires to spread. In this episode, Pete talks with Randy Hodge, executive vice president, staff insurance operations for FM Global, and Anukool Lakhina, CEO and co-founder of BurnBot and co-founder of Wonder Labs, about how each organization applies research and technology to proactively mitigate climate risks and make businesses and communities more resilient.

Whether it’s making a community more resilient to disasters or helping an employer to reduce accidents in the warehouse, having the right data is key to focusing prevention efforts where they will have the greatest ROI. Join Host Pete Miller as he talks with Daniel Kaniewski, Managing Director-Public Sector of Marsh & McLennan and former deputy administrator of of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Alex Senemar, CEO and Co-Founder of Voxel, on how they are each working to transform the status quo and make communities and employees safer, and reduce the toll of paying for preventable losses.
