Automated Intelligence (AI) I is the wave of the future as it equips insurance professionals with powerful predictive intelligence coupled with more efficient use of one’s time and resources. Similar to AI, insurtechs are innovations that improve insurance processes – specifically those related to distribution, processing and predictive analysis. Both AI and insurtechs have been integrated in the insurance business by new players as well as established industry leaders. This session will summarize the roles that AI and insurtech currently play in captive insurance, and explore predictions about their roles in the future.
