The Mortality Thief: Death hides in the detail
·OnlineOnlineWhat happens when a risk manager finds himself in the middle of a financial crime?
In this talk, Mark Griffin introduces The Mortality Thief, a financial thriller rooted in real-world insurance, risk management, and statistical reasoning. Drawing on decades of experience in banking, insurance, and enterprise risk, the story follows an actuary forced to confront fraud, mortality risk, and ethical dilemmas—this time with his own life at stake. Along the way, we meet strong female characters who use expertise—actuarial, analytical, and investigative—to challenge power structures inside financial institutions.
The discussion explores how actuarial logic, data analysis, and AI are woven into the plot, not as decoration but as essential tools for survival.
This session is not about writing code, but about seeing our professional tools through a different lens: how risk thinking shapes narratives, how AI changes decision-making under pressure, and how technical knowledge can drive both stories and real-world consequences.
Mark will also share his views on how AI changes the job responsibilities of risk managers.
