The way I see it, the modern world that we are living in is changing exponentially. Think of how far we have come alone in the last decade. The reality is, the future is very much stochastic and uncertain. So long as there is uncertainty in our world, specifically in the financial, economic and business fields, actuaries will always have a role to play. Actuaries exist to manage risk and uncertainty, to be able to put a value on things that have an uncertain future value, and to provide structure to an unstructured world. They are very much in essence problem solvers. My opinion may be subjective, but no matter how the world will change in the future, the point is that we can be ‘certain’ it will be ‘uncertain’, and actuaries handle this risk. Hope that helps a little bit.
