Artificial Intelligence (AI)

How will it affect our lives and careers? What skills will you, your children, and grandchildren need to flourish in such a future? What does it take to be future-ready and life-ready? Speaker: Atul Pant – Author, co-founder of a knowledge management solutions company. He also imparts training on life skills essential for making the less privileged youth employment-ready. Date:  Tuesday 27th February 2018 Venue: Fladgate LLP, 16 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5DG Time:  6.30pm for 7.00pm sharp start Cost: £10 members & £15 non-members (under 18 and students at no cost) Followed by a networking session where refreshments will be served Confirm by email: anup@veracityeducation.com or  Tel: 020 7493 0437 Some experts argue that AI will lead to mass unemployment, leading to massive social unrest; while other experts are of the opinion that adoption of AI will lead to the emergence of new jobs. One thing is for sure, technology skews the income distribution and creates, what economists call, a ‘winner-takes-all-market’. And, when skills don’t keep pace with technology the end-result is inequality. Would the growing use of AI mean that most humans will survive only on Universal Basic Income and just eke out a living?

Program – Insurance “Transfer of Risks & Risk Mitigation”

14th August 2018 Dear Members, World Zarathushti Chamber of Commerce (WZCC) provides its members, among many other services, an opportunity to learn how to manage various aspects of their finances. This Program guides a person to understand why Insurance is such an important component of financial planning. Insurance is a way of managing risks. When a person buys insurance, the cost of a potential loss is transferred to the Insurance Company in exchange for a fee, known as premium. Insurance Companies invest funds securely, so it can grow and pay out when there is a claim. There are various types of insurance besides life insurance – businesses including coverage for property damage, legal liabilities and employee related risks, etc. Today business is full of Risks and it is very important to transfer Risks so that those in business could totally concentrate on the core business, with the assurance that both tangible and intangible Risks are transferred and would not hit the Balance Sheet. Today transference of Risks is a complicated legal process and hence, the Insurance Regulatory Development Authority has introduced Insurance Brokers to the Market, very much akin to the Developed Countries where a Company or an Individual is always in touch with the Insurance Brokers and never with the Insurance Company. Mr. Maneck Dastur will appraise WZCC members on nuances wherein they can venture into large business without apprehension or fear of Fortuitous, Force Majeure and Legal Liability losses. He will also speak on why, most of the Insurance Policies should be structured as per the needs of the Company rather than acceptance of pre-fabricated policies of the Insurance Companies. This program will be conducted by Mr. Maneck Homi Dastur, who has more than 4 decades of experience in the Insurance Sector handling both Marketing and Technical assignments. He is the General Manager with K.M. Dastur Reinsurance Brokers Pvt. Ltd. He has been instrumental in developing and structuring Direct and Reinsurance business. K.M. Dastur Reinsurance Brokers Pvt. Ltd. has 14 offices in India, 12 offices abroad and are Lloyds Brokers at London, U.K. They specialize in marketing and structuring covers for Special Contingency, Event Insurance, Legal Liability and Group Health Insurance Schemes.
