Where Insurance Is Still Lagging Behind in Innovation | Akur8 | ITC Vegas
The video discusses how insurance, traditionally a resilience industry, is adopting AI and machine learning, emphasizing purposeful use over novelty. Speakers note that insurers are not late but deliberate, balancing stability with the need to accelerate due to faster‑evolving risk drivers such as climate change, electric vehicles, new mobility and post‑COVID behaviors. They argue that AI and cloud enable quicker pricing cycles and automation. A notable quote: “We are not doing machine learning for AI’s sake, but for a business purpose.” The panel cites cloud‑based AI models that can compress the time from data ingestion to price deployment, allowing insurers to respond to shifting risk landscapes. The shift implies insurers must invest in digital infrastructure to stay competitive, as faster underwriting directly impacts profitability and customer experience in a market where risk variables change daily.
