But should we be concerned about this rise of big data?

Speaking during a session for the Professional InsurTech Certificate course, Tracey Sharis, President of Global Risk Solutions at Liberty Mutual Insurance, shared her thoughts on precisely that.


"I see access to a massive amount of data presented to us through external sources as one of the biggest challenges that we face," the speaker stated.

We are quite mindful of the risk that this information could overwhelm us. More significantly, we are worried about the possibility that our prejudices will be used to slant this information.

Instead of taking the facts at face value, Tracey said, "this would lead us to the conclusions we want and could help us discover things about our own organization that need to be changed – or even prevent threats to us today."
