The AI boom is creating new and emerging risks, while also giving our industry growing capabilities. Rapid investment in data centres is creating new concentrations of risk and opportunities for insurers and reinsurers across property, engineering, cyber, liability and more. But the opportunity is more than insuring the infrastructure behind AI. The technology itself could change what insurers are able to do. As Urs put it, AI is a “game-changer from a technological capability perspective.” It can help us operate more effectively, make better decisions and, over time, potentially expand the risks we're able to insure. This ability to understand and respond to risk is central to how we're putting AI to work at Swiss Re. By combining AI with deep risk expertise, proprietary data and human judgement, we aim to make better-informed decisions and create greater value for our clients' as their needs evolve.

When disaster strikes, governments are often left carrying much of the financial burden. Insurance now forms part of the financing strategy for many sovereign states, alongside governments’ own resources, lending and other financial tools. In our latest Risk REconsidered podcast, host John Miller is joined by Gerry Lemcke, Head of Technical Sales, and Marina Oberholzer, Lead, International Organizations, from our Public Sector Solutions team. Their conversation moves from urban flooding and severe drought to the challenges that arise when natural catastrophe risk meets sovereign debt. Could risk transfer be built into government borrowing? Gerry and Marina discuss insurance-linked loans and how they could provide relief after a qualifying disaster rather than simply postponing debt repayments. 📺Watch the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/ee7Ar4Bx 🎧 Hear the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/ee7Ar4Bx

One shock. Many pathways. The next systemic crisis may not be defined by the size of the initial shock, but by how quickly and widely it spreads. New joint research from Swiss Re Institute and the The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) explores how growing connections between financial, digital, natural and socio-economic systems are creating new pathways for risk – and what this means for resilience. The report brings together academic research and practical risk expertise to better understand where vulnerabilities are building, how shocks can be amplified and how greater resilience can be built before the next crisis occurs. Systemic risk isn't only about the shock. It's about where the shock travels next. Read the report: https://ow.ly/3M5S50ZR0bZ Systemic Risk Centre

🌀 At #4 in our countdown of the costliest hurricanes by insured losses: Hurricane Sandy (2012), remembered for its extraordinary size and devastating coastal impact. While Sandy wasn't the most intense hurricane by wind speed, its massive wind field drove catastrophic storm surge into densely populated parts of New York and New Jersey. 🌊 The majority of economic losses remained uninsured, showing just how much can be at stake when people and assets are concentrated along coastlines.

For Elyssa Marcus Del Valle, Chief Medical Officer, Americas, World Alzheimer’s Day is deeply personal. She experienced the disease through two people she loved deeply: her father and her mother-in-law. Although they shared the same diagnosis, their journeys could not have been more different. Those experiences shaped how she thinks about the disease and the impact it has on both those living with it and the people who care for them. In her latest blog, she brings that personal perspective to the science, exploring advances in treatment and what research is revealing about the potential to prevent or delay cognitive decline. She looks at the relationship between metabolic and brain health, the role lifestyle interventions may play, and emerging research into whether improving insulin sensitivity through GLP-1 drugs could offer cognitive benefits. Discover what gives Elyssa reason for cautious optimism about the future of Alzheimer’s research 👉 https://ow.ly/CyuL50ZOIuG

In our latest Risk REconsidered podcast, host John Miller sits down with Gerry Lemcke and Marina Oberholzer to explore how these solutions take shape, how approaches can be replicated and where risk transfer could play a role in sovereign debt. 🎧 Hear the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/ee7Ar4Bx
