Two companies named in a federal grand jury subpoena investigating former state official Konstantinos Diamantis were the primary beneficiaries of millions of dollars’ worth of hazardous waste abatement work on state buildings since 2017, records show. An analysis by the CT Mirror shows that the two, AAIS and Bestech, got all but 15 of the 284 purchase orders issued by the state for hazardous waste disposal and demolition from fiscal year 2017 through 2022 — contracts that are paid for by the state and not tied to school construction jobs. After receiving questions about the arrangement from the Connecticut Mirror, the state abruptly canceled the contract, even though it was supposed to run until April. Reporter Dave Altimari talks to Ebong Udoma about this CT Mirror investigation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joan Zerkovich – Senior Vice President, Operations at AAIS (American Association of Insurance Services) and Brian Behlendorf, Executive Director of Hyperledger at the Linux Foundation join us to announce that the AAIS' OpenIDL is joining the Linux Foundation. In this episode we get an introduction to the AAIS, OpenIDL, the Linux Foundation and Hyperledger. We also discussed how OpenIDL will leverage the Linux Foundation unique approach to governance.   What is blockchain? Joan: distributed ledger technology is a technology that provides a way to have immutable records in the digital world, in a networked environment. Blockchain is used in a number of ways in addition to cryptocurrency, such as for business applications that require data security, privacy and an immutable record. OpenIDL uses blockchain to pursue a path of data security, privacy and transparency. Brian: blockchain is a shared system of record amongst participants in a commercial ecosystem. Brian, compares blockchain to the mid and late 90s when a group of folks were talking about free software and working on projects with no justifiable economic basis behind them such as the Apache Software project and the Linux project. Insurance have been conservative about adoption of new technologies, open source software and blockchain technology. However, Brian now thinks that insurers now see blockchain as solving some real problems, particularly problems created in understanding risk within a regulated environment. Blockchain helps organise an industry to solve a collective problem. A shared system of record, with automation through smart contracts is an essential part of solving these problems and doing that in an auditable and verifiable and, and regulatable way.   AAIS AAIS is a US based advisory organisation. In the United States, insurance is regulated at the state level. That poses some issues when you’re trying to offer insurance products nationally. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners or representatives from all the states got together and they said we need an organisation that can help them collect data on the insurance market and provide some perspective at the national level. They can use that data to develop products that can be filed in all 50 states to provide a common foundation for insurance companies to add value on top of that with some consistency across all 50 states. For the last 80 years AAIS has been authorised to collect data from the insurance carriers as an advisory organisation licenced in 50 states. AAIS is allowed to collect data that insurance companies wouldn’t be able to share between themselves due to antitrust concerns. AAIS uses that data to provide reports to the regulators and to develop products that they use.   Linux Foundation and Hyperledger 20 years the Linux ecosystem was composed of a number of open source contributors from RedHat, HP, IBM and thousands of other contributors. A consortium approach was set up as a home for the Linux project where the basic sustainability model was companies paying membership dues tiered by the size of the organisation. They weren’t pay for software development but paying for the coordination overhead, or as Brian calls it, the air traffic control function to all the different contributions coming in. After a few years there was a sense that this model was stable, that it was reliable and replicatable. The model was thus used for adjacent technology domains like cloud computing, software define networking and industry specific domains like automotive software. For each of these projects there is a clutch of companies who pay yearly membership dues to provide the core essentials, small staff to serve in that air traffic control function and coordinating functions. This has led to the creation of over 400 different projects. When Hyperledger started five years ago, it was started and continues to be managed in this kind of model where it has its ...

Gilles has learned that the Terra Array of satellites is riddled with A-AIs – Autonomous Artificial Intelligences. When the satellites come online, the AAIs will be able to seize control of all earthly computation: stock markets, military systems – everything. Gilles races to find a way to prevent it, but will he be in time? Gilles' incarceration comes to an end even as his story does. He is faced with a chilling – and ironic – decision.

On today's episode, Corey and Collin talk with Truman Esmond, VP of Solutions and Partnerships at the American Association of Insurance Services (AAIS). Why are we talking to insurance folks, you ask? Because they've partnered with IBM to launch the openIDL platform to help aggregate company data while maintaining privacy and compliance. We ask how it works, why they used Hyperledger, and many more details, enjoy!

Joan Zerkovich, Senior Vice President, Operations at American Association of Insurance Services (AAIS) walks us through how AAIS have expanded their OpenIDL blockchain application beyond streamlining regulatory reporting for carriers. In this episode she explains to us how OpenIDL helps insurers develop a network data strategy that provides data standards and a secure, scalable and cost-effective platform for carriers.   What is blockchain? Blockchain is a distributed ledger of which a copy of the ledger is available to all the participants of the network. Blockchain solves a key problem that other data technologies didn’t provide which was an immutable record. It provides a secure way to store data, transparency in how the data is being used and an immutable record that is so critical to trusting any activity that happens on the network. It enables to create systems networks for a wide variety of solutions such as transactional networks or in the case of OpenIDL as an analytics platform.   What is the American Association of Insurance Services (AAIS) In the United States, the insurance industry is regulated at the state level.  A National Advisory organisation exists to provide consistency between all the state regulations. AAIS is formed by regulation and is licensed in all 50 states to do the following: Serve as a bridge between the carriers and the regulators in the way they exchange and share data Through that exchange the AAIS uses some of that data to create products such as a homeowner’s policy with a rating plan or an auto plan. AAIS brings consistency across all the states in the way those products are delivered to the market. Carriers pick up the AAIS products to add value on top of them. AAIS has been doing this for over 80 years. They realise it isn’t as efficient as it should be and that it needed to be modernised due to the different data needs in the industry today.   The Open Insurance Data Link (OpenIDL) https://youtu.be/4Z6SDGtKgtE In September 2018 we featured Joan Zerkovich on Insureblocks to tell us about the Insurance Regulatory Reporting using Blockchain – AAIS introduce openIDL. Joan reminds us that her team didn’t know they were going to create OpenIDL when they started off on that journey. They knew that they had a problem in the way they were collecting data and sending reports over to the regulators. There were a lot of pain points in the participants in that process. The old-style statistical data plans that had been used for the last decades didn’t contain enough information the AAIS as an advisory organisation needed. The regulators also found that the stat plans didn’t have the necessary data for them to answer the questions they were getting from their legislators. Consequently, the regulators would go around the advisory organisations by making data calls directly to the carriers to get the data they need. This caused a lot of pain points with the carriers who saw an increasing volume of data leaving the security of their data centres beings transferred to third parties without any oversight in how the data was being used. Through a number of design thinking sessions AAIS was able to identify those pain points and look into possible solutions. The available data technology platforms had a number of problems in terms of data security, transparency of how the data was being used and of course as a regulated industry the need for an auditable and immutable record was required. This lead Joan and her team to the use of blockchain technology. They started off with a prototype that solved the problems for both the carriers and the regulators. They went through one pivot in their architecture, changed what’s stored on chain and how to ensure the privacy of data. https://youtu.be/B3QUkUtjDiA Today the OpenIDL is an open blockchain network that streamlines regulatory reporting and provides new insights for insurers, while enhancing timeliness,

In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I spoke with Thomas Jennings, Director of Business Development at AAIS, on his workshop presentation at the Silicon Valley Insurance Accelerator conference on January 29th in Palo Alto. We discussed blockchain (of course) but how this technology may facilitate the sharing of data between parties who may have trust concerns. We discussed how AAIS used design thinking in contemplating their solution for allowing AAIS member companies and the NAIC to share data. We also got starry-eyed about how this technology may transform how we subtly communicate and share information with one another. The title of Thomas' workshop is: Design Thinking for Blockchain Enabled Products & Business ModelsHands-on exec workshop that guides participants through definition, development & validation of a Blockchain enabled application using design thinking and what is required to launch a first POC.Register here to get 30% off: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/digital-insurance-leadership-blockchain-smart-insurance-tickets-46683944936?discount=InsNerds30 CONNECT WITH THOMAS JENNINGS: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-jennings-47b92533/ AAIS Homepage: https://aaisonline.com/ MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Silicon Valley Insurance Accelerator: https://sviaccelerator.com/ SVIA Blockchain Conference on January 29th (Palo Alto): https://sviaccelerator.com/digital-insurance-leadership-blockchain-smart-insurance-2019-01/ SUBSCRIBE AT:Buzzsprout RSS: https://goo.gl/5K4X3QGoogle Play: https://goo.gl/WMAvW4iTunes: https://goo.gl/7SqwvP Overcast: https://goo.gl/8b4cbD Spotify: https://goo.gl/niAbGN Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DmE7MiYouTube: https://goo.gl/1Turar

In today’s episode we focus on insurance regulatory reporting with the American Association of Insurance Services (AAIS). With us we have Joan Zerkovich, Senior Vice President of Operations at AAIS. Prior to the AAIS, Joan worked in information technology, with over twenty years as a CIO specialising in building large infrastructure systems. Joan will talk to us about openIDL (open Insurance Data Link), the blockchain-based solution aiming to improve data sharing between insurance carriers, the AAIS and US state regulators.   Blockchain in two minutes Blockchain is a technology that provides increased trust and security in data sharing systems. It enables users to upload records, data or transactions to a system, which are stored in a chronological order and cannot be modified or deleted. The records are encrypted and stored in blocks, with copies of those blocks then stored in the same away across the network. The immutability of the records and the secure storage across numerous computers on the network provides a level of trust and security never before seen in data systems. Smart contracts are blockchain’s other distinguishing feature. A smart contract is essentially software that checks for specified transactions in the network and automatically executes queries without exposing any more underlying data than necessary. Combined with blockchain’s immutability, this ensures the trust of all parties on the system.   American Association of Insurance Services (AAIS) The AAIS is the only non-profit, member-owned advisory organisation in the US. As the US insurance industry is regulated on a state (instead of federal) level, the AAIS was formed to provide a common platform across all the state-regulated markets. Joan is here to guide us through the US regulatory framework and how the AAIS helps insurance carriers navigate it. To begin with, insurance carriers need to request state insurance departments permission to create and rate a new product. After a long approval process, the insurer needs to report to the department once they start writing business. This can be a very time-consuming and expensive process and it can delay a product getting to market by numerous years. The AAIS employs a countrywide programme to make this simpler across all fifty states. This includes creating common forms and contracts, whose language is set primarily on a national level but is adapted to conform to state-level regulations. Once the programme is approved by the regulator, any member of the AAIS can go through it to write business much quicker, significantly reducing the time and cost involved. Another feature of the US insurance regulation is that antitrust laws do not allow insurance companies to share pricing and rating data between them. However, the AAIS, as an advisory organisation, can collect policy and claims data from insurance carriers across all states. It then uses that data to to create new products, update loss cost and rating factors and share them back with insurance carriers. Finally, insurance carriers have to report to state regulators. This is done by providing the data to the AAIS, which aggregates and anonymises it before passing it on to regulators. Overall, the AAIS makes it easier for state-based regulators to serve their communities while also ensuring consistency across all states and improving operational efficiency.   Data collection before openIDL While data collection, reporting and filing of new products is now digital, data is nevertheless coming from multiple different systems across thousands of insurance carriers. AAIS has to normalise the data, do quality assurance checks and create a coherent data set that can be used for product development and industry reporting. Traditionally this is done by members submitting their data to the AAIS statistical data management application. This is a web-based tool where members upload the data required for the application to perform quality ...
