TENTANG EPISODE INI
In this episode we examine how technology has increasingly taken over every aspect of our home insurance policies, from the algorithm that decides how much insurance we need when we sign up, to the algorithm that determines what it'll cost to rebuild after a disaster, to the ones that set your fire risk score and decide how much companies get to charge for future disasters. The data that feeds this technology is often incorrect and always hidden from public view. And there is a big company behind it: Verisk.
Guests:
Barbara Holub, Marshall Fire survivor
Bill May, Palisades Fire survivor
Thomas Loeser, attorney
Harvey Rosenfield, Consumer Watchdog founder
Ben Armstrong, Actuary
Dave Cortese, California state senator
