American Family Insurance, CSAIL Alliances Affiliate, exists to protect what matters most to households and businesses across the country, using data science and applied AI.

This talk introduces MIT graduate students to insurance as a serious technology, data, and AI problem, not just a financial product. Insurance AI rarely means one model: many specialized systems — for risk, fraud, compliance, and claims — each with its own evaluation, quality gates, and human review. The speaker leads several applied AI initiatives at American Family and has worked hands-on across this ecosystem. The talk draws on that complexity, and on pressures like catastrophe risk, climate, cybersecurity, and responsible AI deployment, to explain why insurance sits at the center of some of today's hardest technology problems. It highlights AmFam's academic research partnerships — on severe weather and wildfire risk — as one model for how graduate research translates into real-world impact, and closes with internship and career opportunities for graduate students.

Agentic AI—systems that move beyond generating content to taking autonomous, goal-directed actions in real time—is top of mind in the news, in research, and in business. 

MIT CSAIL has a very strong Agentic AI research ecosystem, with PIs exploring last mile AI, security, deployment, cost, physical AI, and so many aspects of the agentic space. 

Join us for a day-long summit and be a part of what’s next in artificial intelligence. 

Engage directly with MIT CSAIL researchers defining the next generation of AI. What comes next with agents? From research talks, to industry perspective, to small group lunches  you’ll leave with a clear view of what Agentic AI can mean for your organization, where the technology is heading, and what questions remain unsolved. 

This event is for CSAIL Alliances Members, the MIT Community, and companies interested in connecting with CSAIL research. Space is limited for attendees outside of MIT or CSAIL Alliances; please apply to attend and watch for a follow up email!
