Insurer challenges that can be solved by AI

Due to the virtual nature of insurance, the insurance industry is ideal for digitalization.

On the other hand, because of knowledge complexity, it has not been easy to automate.

Insurers wanted to apply predictive analytics and machine learning techniques to detect fraud for decades. However, the challenge was a small amount of structured data available, as the information was "hidden" in documents and heads of experts.

 

There is a great number of documents and pictures to analyse in claims handling and underwriting, and a lot of information to match with many conditions. That complexity requires many experienced employees. Moreover, with such an elaborate process complexity, a lot of mistakes may occur.

Insurance business is condition- and contract-based. Insurer’s representative needs to know how to effectively respond to regulatory inquiries or manage contract risk. For a call centre consultant finding a correct way to answer specific customer question plays a big role.

It is not easy for contact centre consultants to answer customer questions ad hoc while managing their emotions at the same time. It is challenging (if not impossible) for a supervisor to monitor the calls and intervene – a few against hundreds of calls.

 

It happens that a customer needs to type a lot of information during claim notification online, little hints. The same information may exist in documents he already attached. And then he is notified about missing information even a few days later and again – waiting for a proper reply.

Example areas where insurers are successfully applying AI for automation

car riding the wrong road
Claims handling of medical, house, car, TPL, marine insurance
lost documents
Underwriting of corporate insurance
document to be analysed
Analysis of contracts for compliance & risk management
chatbot answering customer question
Chatbots for clients for claim notification and customer service
human in the call centre
Realtime coaching of and supervision over call centre consultants

AI tools are very effective

but the right tool needs to be used for a specific problem.

For example, a typical success rate of intelligent document recognition is 80–95%.

Insurer’s benefits from AI

Lower operating costs

AI automates repetitive human tasks up till now possible to carry out only by humans. Examples include analysing documents, pictures, and complex information.

Lower claims paid

Humans make mistakes, which results in claim leakage, usually estimated by internal audits. Once trained, AI is consistent and independent of tiredness.

Lower substitute costs in claims

AI automation can shorten the claims handling process, which may result in shorter rent of a replacement car or lower payments of business interruption claims.

Better customer experience

AI enables new ways of interacting with customers. An immediate, empathetic and correct response from the insurer can have a positive impact on the customer's perception.

Better analytics of frauds, tariffs, efficiency

Automatic AI recognition unveils data hidden in unstructured form in documents and photos that previously had to be manually processed by employees. Structured data is the fuel for predictive analytics.

Higher quality of human work

AI can augment the work of all employees, not just experts, leveraging features like analytical skills and scalability to unlock insight and efficiency. This enables faster decision-making, more precise problem-solving, and enhanced innovation across the organization.

 

AI components are easy to configure

You do not program an AI component, you teach it almost like a human.

 

So why do companies not adopt the AI revolution relatively quickly?

Lack of AI automation knowledge

 

The lack of knowledge related to AI automation stops you from making the right decisions regarding automation planning

  • What automations should I consider?
  • There are many AI tools which one can I choose to solve my problem at a reasonable cost?
  • How to manage the increasing complexity of new business logic and redefined processes?
  • As an organization, how do we gain and manage knowledge related to AI automation?

Managing complexity of corporate architecture

 

AI tools are only a small part of the overall landscape

  • Typically, AI automation introduces new data and business processes into current systems, which means the entire company architecture must be rethought to support it.
  • Otherwise, excessive implementation costs and architecture complexity can halt the progress of AI automation initiatives.
  • As an organisation, do we have experience in managing complex architecture change connected with business transformations?

Frequently asked questions about AI in insurance

When deploying AI, it's crucial to anonymize and encrypt sensitive data, implement strict access controls, and ensure compliance with data privacy laws. Regularly audit AI models for potential biases and vulnerabilities, and use data minimization practices to reduce the risk of exposure.

AI algorithms can be designed to follow regulatory frameworks by incorporating rules and constraints related to data privacy and security. Compliance is often ensured through ongoing monitoring, audits, and integrating AI with governance tools that track data usage and adherence to industry-specific standards.

To integrate AI with existing infrastructure, start with a thorough assessment of compatibility and scalability. Use APIs or middleware to bridge legacy systems with AI tools, and opt for a phased rollout to minimize disruptions. Continuous monitoring and employee training are essential for a smooth transition.

AI technologies like chatbots and virtual assistants automate customer service and claims handling in insurance. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) speeds up digitizing paper documents, while Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) automates data extraction from complex forms, reducing manual tasks. These tools among many others improve efficiency and enhance customer experiences.
