In insurance industry, the vast amount of data generated often holds untapped potential. Amidst this sea of information lies an opportunity to transform them into actionable intelligence. Join us on a journey to discover the transformative possibilities that lie within your dormant data to turn them into a catalyst for insightful decisions in the insurance industry.

1. Risk Assessment and Underwriting:

Ensuring precise underwriting is of utmost importance for insurers to sustain consistent profitability.  The poorly maintained data and lack of quality data are challenging for manual risk assessment. According to the NAIC 2021 report, the homeowner’s line was unprofitable again in 2021 with a combined ratio of 103.8%, down from 107.4% in 2020. In recent years, an increase in the frequency and severity of natural catastrophes placed pressure on homeowners’ profitability. There is consistent underwriting losses in four of the last five years. 

AI models can analyze vast amounts of data in very little time, including a wide range of structured and unstructured data like policyholder information, credit scores, claims history, and external weather data, and provide comprehensive assessment detail to help the underwriting process. And then the insurers can assess the risk levels more accurately.

2. Fraud Detection:

Insurance fraud has led to significant negative impacts on the insurance sector for several decades. It is the second-largest white-collar crime in the US. According to, insurance fraud organization, Insurance fraud steals at least $308.6B every year from American consumers.   Insurance fraud detection is a challenging analytical problem given, relatively small ratio of known fraud cases in typical data samples.

AI techniques can improve fraud detection. The loss control units can be much more efficient at identifying fraud while also reducing false positives. There are advantages for any investigative unit as well and a contemporary ecosystem that leverages the process for entity resolution and relationship detection that can help expose connections between involved parties.

3. Knowledge management system:

In June 2021, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce issued a report citing U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers forecasting that over the next 15 years, half of the current insurance workforce will retire. This statistic underscores the potential loss of invaluable industry knowledge and expertise that could have profound implications. This impending retirement of a significant portion of the insurance workforce presents both a challenge and an opportunity.

The knowledge of the workforce accumulated can be propelled into the future by leveraging the power of AI, particularly large language models (LLMs). This huge knowledge will empower the next generation of insurance professionals with the insights and skills needed to excel in with a shorter learning curve.

4. Claims Triage:

The AI models are intricately designed to continually assess the incoming claim data post the initial notice of loss. The outcome is the identification of cost-effective claims suitable for auto-adjudication and expedited resolution. This strategic use of triage models empowers insurers to optimize resource allocation, ensuring efficiency gains and reduced claims costs. These models can auto adjust the low-cost or low impact claims for faster settlement.

5. Customer Experience:

Customers expect a seamless and efficient experience on every encounter with the insurance companies. Customers do not want to endure long wait times on hold or go through the hassle of repeating information when their call is redirected. Customers could be inquiring about insurance quotes, filing a claim, or making a payment, their desire is for an instant, personalized, and precise response that meets their elevated standards.

The insurance industry can improve its service offerings to customers and enhance the employee productivity with AI. Thanks to AI for the insights derived from the dormant data. The AI revolution is reshaping how insurance operations marketed, underwritten, and serviced, benefitting both insurers and policyholders.
