    Underwriting is about to experience the same disruption payments saw with UPI silent, intelligent, and hyper-personalized. Traditional actuarial models, largely built on age, gender, and medical history, are no longer enough to accurately price risk. The future of underwriting is about 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐀𝐈-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. A McKinsey study estimates that 𝐀𝐈-𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝟐𝟎% through more accurate segmentation and predictive modeling. Insurers are already leveraging geolocation, wearable data, and transaction behavior to assess actual lifestyle risk, not just what’s declared on a form. Instead of pricing a policy once at issuance, underwriting will become continuous. Transactional data from IoT, telematics, and payments will enable dynamic risk tiers such as auto premiums recalibrating monthly based on real driving behavior. With explainability frameworks (like XAI), underwriters can ensure AI doesn’t become a black box. This is critical as 𝟖𝟐% 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐈 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 over the next 3 years The top insurers are building ecosystems. Partnerships with mobility, fintech, and health platforms will give them richer, more reliable signals, transforming underwriting from risk prediction to risk prevention. The underwriting engine will sense, learn, and adapt in real time, turning insurance from reactive protection to proactive resilience. #DigitalIndia #Fintech #AI #technology #Fintech #technology

    AI in insurance is not a productivity hack 🚫 Automating the past is safe and will generate marginal returns. The real value lies in underwriting the future! AI is being talked about everywhere in insurance. Too often, the conversation stalls at efficiency theatre. Faster underwriting. Cheaper claims handling. Fewer people doing more work. Useful, but small. The real opportunity sits elsewhere. Reimagining Risk in an AI-Driven World, developed by the International Insurance Society, captures this shift well. Having contributed to the report and led the executive workshop in Zurich, one message came through very clearly: the next decade will separate insurers making marginal improvements from those rebuilding their operating models around new forms of risk, data, and human judgement. AI is not the strategy. It is the unlock 🔓 The strategic upside is not incremental. It sits in: • New insurable risks emerging from intangible assets, cyber, AI, and climate • Proprietary knowledge graphs, data, decision systems become a true edge • Human judgement being augmented, not replaced, in a trust-based industry • Governance, talent, and data strategy becoming board-level differentiators, not IT issues 🤩 One stat should give leaders pause. Nearly 90% of firms are experimenting with GenAI, yet only around a quarter have anything in real production. Plenty of motion. Limited transformation. That gap is not about technology. It is about operating model courage. Keen to hear from peers across insurers, reinsurers, brokers, MGAs, and insurtechs: • Where have you seen AI move the needle beyond efficiency? • What is genuinely blocking scaled deployment? • Are we underwriting new risks fast enough, or just automating old ones? If insurance gets this right, we don’t just adapt to an AI-enabled world. We become one of its core stabilisers. Thoughts and counter-views welcome.

    Insurers need to digitise faster to realise the AI opportunity. That’s because AI isn’t about replacing digital systems with AI. Rather, value is achieved by connecting AI to insurers’ well-designed digital system. Insurers have spent years trying to digitise underwriting, pricing and operations. That work isn’t obsolete just because AI has arrived. In fact, it’s become even more valuable. A structured digital platform provides governance, workflows, calculations and data management. AI then becomes the natural language interface that gives superpowers to that platform. Users can ask questions, automate repetitive tasks, retrieve information and receive intelligent recommendations—without the AI having to recreate the entire underwriting process every time. There is another major benefit: reducing the cost of AI. If AI performs every calculation and workflow, token usage becomes expensive very quickly. If the platform performs the deterministic pricing work and AI focuses on supporting the underwriter to do their job better and faster, the economics are dramatically better than AI on its own. As Databricks co-founder Matei Zaharia has highlighted, the power of AI comes from combining it with a “harness”, effectively a strong data and system foundation alongside the AI. We’ve seen this ourselves by connecting an MCP server to an existing underwriting platform. The result was a system that became easier to learn, easier for underwriters and AI to use and significantly cheaper to operate. My prediction is that the winners over the next five years won’t be the companies that build AI-first insurance systems. They’ll be the companies that build digital-first, AI-enabled SaaS platforms That’s where the real transformation begins. #underwriting #insurtech #insurance #underwriting #aiharness

    Does Insurance need to stop calling itself “Insurance” to grow in Africa? Yes - in customer facing language and product packaging. No - in legal and #regulatory classification This post is inspired by a discussion on the topic we had yesterday at the AXIAN Digibank & Fintech Annual Forum in Senegal. This is Post 1️⃣ of 2️⃣ The binding constraint in most Sub-Saharan markets is not “lack of risk”, its lack of trust, low comprehension, and high friction at the moment of value (claims). The word “INSURANCE” often encodes - paperwork, exclusions, delayed payouts, and disputes If you want penetration, you sell “protection” embedded into products people already use weekly: payments, savings, credit, merchant tools and not insurance The practical principle that I am proposing is simple: ☑️ Call it “insurance” to the regulator. ☑️ Sell it as “protection” to the customer. ☑️ Design it so the customer exp value without a PhD in policy wordings ⸻ Should #mobilemoney players pursue an #insurtech pillar? Yes - if they treat it as a distribution + claims experience business, not an #underwriting business Mobile money players should not wake up and decide to “become insurers”. They should build a #Protection pillar that does four things: 1️⃣ Bundles simple covers into high-frequency journeys (loan, savings, device, merchant acceptance, remittances) 2️⃣ Collects premiums frictionlessly (wallet auto-debit; pay-as-you-go; tiny ticket sizes) 3️⃣ Wins on claims (fast, predictable, transparent) 4️⃣ Push the innovation in the product structure (think parameteric, embedded, etc) ❌ Avoid: launching a “marketplace” of 12 insurance products. That’s a catalogue, not a penetration strategy ⸻ Where to play and who to target 🎯 Pick markets and segments where “embedded” is structurally advantaged. What does that mean? Prioritise countries/ business lines where you have: ➖ High active #wallet usage, not just registrations ➖ Existing #digitalcredit or savings motion (strongest embed points) ➖ Dense agent/merchant network (cash-in/out + servicing + trust) ➖ Regulatory clarity for #microinsurance distribution ➖ At least one capable insurer/ #reinsurer partner willing to design for digital claims SLAs Segment priority (who to target) Start where pain is frequent and willingness-to-pay is real: ➖ Digital credit users: Embed loan protection / credit life / disability cover as the default “repayment resilience” feature ➖ Mass-market families with volatile income: Embed hospital cover inside “savings goals” or “family wallet plans” ➖ Micro and small merchants (your merchant ecosystem is your moat). Embed business interruption micro-cover, fire/theft micro-cover, liability lite, and device/POS protection ➖ Gig / informal workers: Embed income #protection proxies (hospital cash, accident) tied to regular wallet activity. ➖ Remittance recipients (if you have corridors): Embed funeral/health micro-covers triggered by remittance receipt patterns Part 2 next

    The AI race in insurance is shifting from experimentation to implementation, and CB Insights’ hiring signals make this impossible to ignore. We identified the fastest-growing agentic AI-focused insurtechs and found that 7 of the top 9 are prioritizing implementation-focused roles. Two themes stand out: client education on AI adoption and forward-deployed engineering. These are roles designed to get AI working in production, not just in pilots. All but one of these companies raised funding since March 2025, suggesting that implementation capability has become a prerequisite for AI-focused insurtech funding. But here's the tension driving this hiring: insurtechs are doubling down on implementation in part because their customers can increasingly build in-house. CB Insights’ Hiring Insights on some of the largest insurers — including Aviva, Chubb, and MetLife — show they are moving quickly to build AI capabilities in-house. Insurance executives will increasingly expect implementation efforts to deliver measurable ROI. That bar will determine which insurtech partners win and which get replaced by in-house teams.

    ⁉️ 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙤 I'm sitting in a carrier's conference room, watching a vendor wrap up a sleek AI claims demo. Fast triage. Clean interface. Impressive accuracy. Then the claims leader next to me asks: "𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗱𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀?" Silence. The vendor searches his slides like the answer might be hiding in 8-point font, then pivots to cycle times and cost per claim. The claims leader nods. But I watch the energy leave the room, not because the tech was weak, but because the human question wasn’t part of the story. I flew home thinking about that silence. And it changed the way I listen in demos. Here's what I've learned separates InsurTech vendors who get traction from those who stall: 1️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗽, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 Insurance isn’t e-commerce. The adjuster calling a policyholder after a house fire isn’t a bottleneck to be automated. She’s the reason the policyholder renews. The best tools elevate her judgment, cut the grunt work, and surface sharper information exactly when she needs it. Peter Piotrowski put it well in his recent Digital Insurance article: technology should pass the "does it elevate our people" test. 2️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻…𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 Carriers don’t struggle with 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 to adopt AI. They struggle with 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 when systems are older than half the team and institutional knowledge lives in the heads of adjusters nearing retirement. Vendors who win help carriers pick one practical, high-impact starting point and bring people along without losing what makes them good. 3️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼 The AI tools carriers can't live without rarely start glamorous...shaving 30 minutes off a repetitive task or surfacing a critical detail at the exact moment it matters. But the companies gaining real traction use that early trust to go deeper, shifting from "nice efficiency boost" to "load-bearing infrastructure." That's the difference between a point solution and a long-term partner. ➡️ 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝘁-𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗜 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀: If your product disappeared tomorrow, would your clients notice by lunchtime…or next month? Build for lunchtime. I think about that claims leader often. He wasn’t trying to derail the deal. He was offering a roadmap to win it: "𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗱𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀?" Answer that - clearly and specifically - and you won’t watch a room go quiet again. #InsurTech #AgenticAI #InsuranceInnovation

    A top-5 global insurer just handed an entire commercial line to a tech-native specialist. 95% of Q1'26 insurance VC dollars went to AI-native businesses. For a decade, the script was steady. Incumbents underwrote almost all the premium. Insurtech was a feature, not a category. The script flipped this quarter. The new model isn't startups beating carriers. It's a division of labor. The incumbent runs the balance sheet. The specialist runs the technology. Cyber went first because the data is clean and the loss models are young. Climate-cat, parametric, and embedded commercial are next. What's behind the rotation: - Allianz Commercial transferred its entire standalone commercial cyber book to Coalition, Inc. on May 6. Coalition now owns pricing, product, risk mitigation, and claims. - Reserv closed a $125M Series C on May 4. The AI-native TPA serves roughly 200 carriers, captives, MGAs, and brokers. - InsurTech.ME tracked $820M of AI-native deal volume in a single week (May 4–9). - Early-adopter benchmarks: underwriting time from 3 days to 3 minutes. Straight-through processing from 10–15% to 70–90%. Fraud detection up more than 30%. #Insurance #InsurTech #AI #PropertyAndCasualty #Underwriting #ClaimsAutomation #FutureOfInsurance #DigitalTransformation

    Aviva built 80+ AI models for claims. The headline most carriers will hear: 23 days off liability decisions, 65 percent fewer complaints, NPS up 7x, employee engagement doubled. The lesson most carriers will miss: they did the boring part first. Before the 80 models, Aviva spent serious time consolidating 22 legacy claims platforms into a unified workflow layer. Dataiku for the data. Appian for the orchestration. One decisioning surface that the AI could actually plug into. That is the part that doesn't make the keynote. Most insurance AI projects I see start at the wrong end. A vendor demos a model. A line of business funds a pilot. The model gets bolted onto a 30-year-old policy admin system through a brittle middleware layer, and the moment data quality or workflow ownership comes up, the project stalls. Aviva's sequencing tells the real story. Plumbing first. Models second. If your data lives in a dozen systems, your AI strategy is a data strategy. If your claims handlers can't see the model output inside the workflow they already use, your AI strategy is a UX strategy. If your audit team can't reconstruct which model touched which decision, your AI strategy is a governance strategy. The 80 models are the easy part once the foundation is right. Susco has spent years on the unglamorous side of this for carriers, TPAs, and IA firms. Unifying claims platforms, embedding governance into the workflow, making the data ready for whatever AI lands on top next year. Happy to compare notes if your team is sequencing this question right now. Which part of your stack is blocking AI from doing useful work today, the data, the workflow, or the governance? #InsurTech #AIinInsurance #ClaimsManagement #PropertyAndCasualty #DigitalTransformation

    Insurtech funding has been slow in 2024. No surprise there. But I'm seeing major carriers make two strategic bets: 1️⃣ Embedded insurance Key advantages: → Offering convenience through point-of-sale integrations → Overcoming consumer inertia at the moment of need 2️⃣ Cybersecurity Dual strategy: → Expanding into cyber insurance as a new revenue stream → Strengthening internal defenses against rising digital threats KPMG data confirms what I've been seeing in the market. MGAs that lead with tech are still attracting capital (“tech trumps fin”)—they have proven business models and don't carry risk on their balance sheets. That makes them attractive acquisition targets for carriers. AI is gaining traction, particularly for fraud detection and risk assessment and corporate investors are tightening wallets to focus on AI enablement. Insurtech shows promise for the rest of 2024, heading into 2025. The carriers that nail the trifecta—AI, embedded distribution, and cyber—will define the next generation of insurance... and I'm watching closely.
