Industry Pitch Talks Report
Visit to MunichRE
On December 11th, we visited Munich Re for another event in our series „MCML Pitchtalks with Industry“ - this time, our focus was on generative AI, and how it transforms the reinsurance business.
After a presentation from MunichRe on open problems in generative AI, we heard exciting pitchtalks from some of our junior members: Leonardo Galli talked about Optimization. Silvia Casola presented her work in natural language processing. Zijian Ma and Yunpu Ma presented their work on AI Agents. And Zhicong Xian showed advancements in process mining. Exchange of ideas was vivid and informative - we are looking forward to visiting more companies within our community.
