Generative AI for Insurance: Why Maintaining a Balanced Perspective Is Key

We believe that AI presents significant upside for carriers and MGAs seeking to improve their approach to evaluating and pricing risks. We also think it can fuel tremendous benefits for underwriters and their teams, including improved quote-to-bind ratios, right-sizing of their business books and overall expansion.

Surveying the Insurance Landscape: Key Trends for Today, 2024 and Beyond

In an industry that’s so often immersed in day-to-day priorities – getting through overflowing submission inboxes, writing that big piece of business, getting to the next phase of a technology integration – chances to take stock of the larger insurance landscape can be few and far between. With the year winding down, we at Insurance Quantified, together with our advisors, are taking this opportunity to share our insights on some of the most important trends shaping the industry today – and how they will affect insurance businesses in the future.

Ingestion Redefined: Accelerating the Underwriting Workflow Through the Combined Power of AI and Human Oversight

We firmly believe that humans have a key role to play in the underwriting workflow – but submission ingestion is one area where that role can be greatly reduced. By leveraging a variety of AI techniques, insurers can automate much of the initial extraction, enabling insurance professionals to go beyond that first step and serve as quality control artists as opposed to data entry specialists. By turning a slow, variable process into a fast, accurate one, these organizations can increase productivity and ensure all downstream decisions are based on accurate data, giving them a trustworthy source of business intelligence.

A New Model for Insurance Change Management

Insurance is a complex business. This shouldn’t be news to anyone operating in this industry, but it also shouldn’t be shocking to anyone who has ever had to purchase insurance. As with any complex system, insurance companies have developed processes and guidelines that enable them to operate consistently across different offices, regions and often national borders. And just like any complex system with longstanding processes and ways of executing, these same concepts that enable companies to operate effectively can also become shackles when external or internal forces demand change and adaptation.

The Holy Grail for Commercial Underwriting: Fast, Accurate Data

Last month, Insurance Quantified hosted a panel at ITC Vegas, the world’s largest gathering of insurance innovation. Our Vice President of Groundspeed Product Management, Suman Palit, moderated “The Holy Grail for Commercial Underwriting: Fast, Accurate Data”, featuring expert insurers David Mocklow (EVP of Strategy & Transformation at MSIG North America) and Ryan Cole (Vice President, Head of Group Innovation at Everest).

Defining Insurance Underwriting Roles in a World With AI

Technology has modernized a number of industries – but insurance underwriting stands out as an area that has remained relatively underserved by technology, still largely taking place between the inbox and Excel. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Recent years have seen the rise of modern tools that incorporate AI and machine learning methodologies to expand opportunities for underwriting.

Overcoming Fear of Change: How Effective Onboarding Fuels Success with Underwriting Technology

The insurance industry has been slow to adopt technology overall, and for good reason. Insurers have been burned time and again by technology projects – they overextend, underperform, misalign or simply don’t move fast enough. Onboarding plays a big role in this. When executed well, onboarding supports firms in making the most of their investment.

“I Know, You Don’t Have Time to Read This. You’re Drowning in Submissions.”

The business benefits of responding to all submissions go beyond cementing a reputation for being timely and responsive. It also unlocks the opportunity to quote more business and thus write more premium, as innovations like easier access to data and smoother workflows facilitate a more scalable underwriting process overall.

Practical Data Science: Key Principles for Maximizing and Integrating Data Science Across the Business

In the last decade, data science has gone from being named “the sexiest job of the 21st century” by Harvard Business Review to threats of these jobs being replaced altogether by recent advancements in LLMs as popularized by ChatGPT. But data science can play a very important role in driving business impact.
