How Artificial Intelligence Impacts the Insurance Industry

The insurance industry is undergoing dramatic changes as it embraces the use of artificial intelligence (AI).  We are now very close when AI-enhanced digital processes replace the mostly inefficient and costly paper-based and manual processes that characterize the industry.

Recognizing the growing importance of AI, insurance companies are seeking to augment their technological capabilities with the expectation that they will be able to do business faster, cheaper and more securely.

According to a recent report by the global consulting company, McKinsey, the shift to AI will transform every aspect of the industry. The pace of change will accelerate as brokers, consumers, financial intermediaries, insurers, and suppliers become more adept at using advanced technologies to enhance decision making and productivity, lower costs, and optimize the customer experience.

It is also recognized that AI can be used to analyze customer data, predict their behavior, understand their preferences and optimize price and product offerings. Effectively, AI is disrupting the way the industry operates.

In fact, a 2018 Accenture Survey found that four out of five insurance executives believe that AI will work next to humans in their organizations as a co-worker, collaborator and trusted advisor.

Here are the most common ways in which AI-powered systems have and will be impacting the insurance industry.

1. Comprehensive Data Analysis

Large volumes of raw client data can be analyzed by AI to produce intelligent information that can be used to increase customer engagement, offer more personalized products and services, and support marketing initiatives.  

2. Enhanced Client Experience

AI can facilitate the seamless integration of intelligent information which can help advisors to adopt a client-centric business model that understands their client’s needs, motivators, and interests. As well, AI uses analytical tools to facilitate the generation of targeted recommendations for clients, as well as personalized sales and marketing collateral.
