5 tools for using AI in the insurance industry

AI is literally everywhere, and insurance professionals make use of it in a variety of ways. We've put together a list of 5 AI tools with relevant features:

We'll explore each of these tools in more detail in the next few paragraphs, but first, let's introduce the various uses for "AI in insurance."

How can AI be used in the insurance sector? [Examples]

Artificial intelligence can support insurance professionals in a number of ways. Here are some of the ways it's used in the sector:

Client experience

AI can help insurers, brokers and other industry professionals improve their clients' experience.

For example, AI-powered chatbots, which are available 24/7, can be used to answer clients' frequently asked questions and can even help them choose the offer best suited to their needs.

Customer services can also identify trends in client complaints using a conversational analytics solution. AI is capable of analyzing telephone conversation content and identifying specific terms.

Based on this data, professionals can more easily make decisions such as:

• Adjusting the price of an offer;
• Creating an article discussing a specific issue on their blog;
• Improving chatbot responses, etc.

Claims management

AI can also help improve claims management. How? By analyzing vast datasets of past claims, current legislation, contracts, diagrams, photos and declarations. 

AI systems can automate the pre-processing of claims by analyzing the information provided by clients, and even decide whether human intervention is required. This automation speeds up claims processing, reducing delays for policyholders.

Risk forecasting and customized packages

Risk assessment and the cost of premiums are often a bone of contention between insurers and policyholders.

Thanks to AI-powered technology capable of analyzing specific market data, the tendency to incur or cause claims, insurance companies are able to make more informed underwriting decisions.

Fraud detection

Insurance companies are gradually equipping themselves with tools capable of identifying fraud more easily, by spotting behavioral patterns, anomalies, identity theft and other attempted scams.

Automation is undoubtedly THE great transverse advantage of the uses listed above. In fact, AI can help automate underwriting and claims processes, fraud detection or risk prevention. As a result, industry professionals can save time and focus on higher value-added tasks.
