ERGO publishes whitepaper on LLMs

Following the whitepaper on "Robotic Process Automation" (RPA), ERGO now also publishes an approximately 30-page guide (in German) on AI chatbots and the underlying large language models (LLMs).

"AI applications such as ChatGPT & Co offer huge potential for the insurance industry," says Jens Sievert, Innovation Manager at the ERGO Innovation Lab. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of contact points with customers every day where language has to be processed. Insurance companies are therefore predestined for the use of language models and the tools based on them.

With the guide "ChatGPT and large language models: An introduction with a view to the insurance industry", Jens Sievert and other ERGO experts from the fields of machine learning, conversational AI and innovation share their comprehensive knowledge of so-called large language models (LLMs), on which the new AI chatbots such as ChatGPT from OpenAI/Microsoft or Bard from Google are based.

Practical and cross-sectoral use...

Using concrete practical examples, the white paper shows how texts can be created, dialogues conducted or data classified with the corresponding tools. This applies to the insurance sector as well as to other industries. In individual chapters, the paper explains in detail how the models work and their potential, as well as their possible risks and limitations.

...but always with a sense of proportion!

Because: "The insurance industry is also one of the most heavily regulated industries of all, which is why the use of technology must be carefully considered and implemented," Jens Sievert emphasises, adding:
