Gen-AI and Large Language Models in Claims: Embracing Potential, Managing Risk

Today’s underwriters, despite their expertise, are inundated with multiple data sources, spending too much of their time deciphering them rather than focusing on their core tasks like risk assessments. 

Transitioning to efficient workflows reduces administrative efforts, speeds up responses to brokers, and streamlines email and data handling. There’s an evident need to address inconsistencies in broker submissions, and through AI, insurers can quickly identify data gaps, ensure alignment with coverage, and deliver automated feedback, leading to more efficient and accurate risk assessments. 

This webinar will address the data challenges faced by modern underwriters and discuss the optimal strategies to harness data to refine underwriting processes. During this insightful session, industry experts will delve into the following key areas:
-Boost broker-underwriter communication by speeding up responses, simplifying data analysis, and honing underwriters’ focus on accurate quoting and risk assessment. 
-Unlock workflow efficiencies by shifting to auditable workflows, utilising workbenches for data analysis, and embracing advanced tech like AI capabilities for faster responses and thorough data analysis
-Streamline risk and data management by enhancing data integration, addressing broker information gaps, and automating email assessments for aligned coverage proposals.

Elevate Customer and Broker Experience Through Fraud & Claims Transformation

As the demand for capacity within the cyber insurance market continues to grow, pressure is increasing for insurers and reinsurers to improve their understanding of the accumulation and catastrophe exposure within their portfolios. As a result, insurers are looking for more accurate insights and alternative modelling options. 

Predictive modelling is currently the prevalent approach, however its weaknesses could mean carriers are missing out on the highly valuable scenario-driven insights that can be provided by a more definitive, technologically driven approach. 

In this webinar, Intelligent Insurer brings together industry experts to discuss how cyber risk modelling will need to change to adapt to the dynamic nature of the risk, enabling the insurance industry to better quantify cyber exposure. 

In this 1-hour webinar, our panel of experts will discuss how to: 
Examine the evolving cyber risk environment and the growing concerns in the insurance world about accumulation risk. 
Explore the limitations of traditional catastrophe modelling in the context of today’s threat landscape. 
Leverage more definitive, tech-driven modelling approaches in cyber catastrophe scenarios to effectively identify loss drivers and areas of risk accumulation. 
Unlock alternative capacity in the market by gaining insights into more accurate and evidence-based catastrophe modelling. 
How utilising definitive catastrophe modelling can contribute to overall market stability in cyber insurance and satisfying future regulatory evolution

Evaluate accurate exposure and accumulation risk through cyber risk modelling

Gen-AI is beginning to transform the insurance value chain by automating processes with speed & efficiency, expanding the capacity for data ingestion & processing, providing more meaningful data insights, & ultimately enhancing insurer decision-making.

Support Industries To Achieve Supply Chain Risk Management Goals

Generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) models such as ChatGPT, encompassing AI and machine learning (ML), remain in the spotlight, and continue to be a hot topic of discussion in many industries. Specifically, Gen-AI is ushering in new opportunities for insurers across the value chain—reshaping insurance processes, customer experiences, and business models. 

While Gen-AI’s rise was sudden, it will take time for insurers to fully embrace its power and potential, with business leaders wondering what this raft of new ML products mean for their business and how they can move from hype to working solutions. 
AI and ML will likely play a bigger role in understanding customers’ needs and preferences, enhance efficiency, provide real-time, data-driven insights, and offer personalized, relevant and cost-effective insurance products.

The Rise of Gen-AI In Insurance: Vital Tools and Considerations For Insurers

The secular tailwinds powering M&A activity remain firmly in place, triggering unusual demand for transactional liability insurance and warranty & indemnity (W&I). As the W&I market matured over the last decade, the barbell ends of the purchase price spectrum had the fastest growth. However smaller deals deserve, and require, a different approach to underwriting, than their larger counterparts. These small medium enterprises (SMEs) – roughly defined as companies valued at less than $50m – often present a trade-off in relative sophistication of governance with a more straight-forward risk profile and warrantors who know their business deeply. Using lessons from other lines of insurance, whilst knowing what makes these deals tick, is key to building a W&I SME experience that is fit for purpose. This webinar explores how underwriters, brokers, lawyers, and due diligence specialists are learning to see things from each other’s perspective. It will examine the pitfalls of traditional approaches, the headaches to be avoided, the current pace of play, and where underwriting practices and due diligence is going to get deals done. 

During this event, you will:
- Understand why more SMEs are exploring the benefits of transactional liability insurance in the modern M&A landscape
- Better comprehend the recent history of this line & why underwriting smaller deals is becoming increasingly desirable
- Delve into the challenges of underwriting the risks posed by SMEs versus larger companies
- Secure insights on why well-positioned insurers seek out these risks: data, workflow resources, affiliated specialties & portfolio sizing
- Grasp what matters in due diligence: gaps in scope & crystallizing known risks, & why W&I cannot replace good due diligence
- Learn why open & clear communication between underwriters, brokers, insureds & their advisors is critical

Create A Digital Claims Workforce Fit For The Future

As businesses evolve and grow, they become more reliant on technology and software. As this reliance expands, so does their exposure to cyber security risk. Based on this, a gap or vulnerability in the security or resilience of any technology or software can lead to unauthorized access, unintended interruption, or a privacy event leading to financial impact from ransomware, business interruption, and/or potential regulatory and private litigation issues.

Given the enormity of such challenges, it makes sense for clients, brokers and carriers to partner and explore a “360 approach” to cyber risk. This can have many advantages, which will be explored in this special webinar called ‘Assessing and managing cyber risk – the benefits of a 360 approach’ featuring speakers from Markel, Aon and Black Kite. The event takes place on June 6 at 3pm BST/10am EDT and is sponsored by Markel.
 
At this event, you will:
- Understand how cyber security risks are evolving, becoming more complex and sophisticated in a changing world
- Delve into key challenges of underwriting cyber risks and why a 360-degree approach is needed
- Secure further insights on the importance of pre-event risk analysis and thorough risk assessments based on operational exposures
- Gain an understanding of the value of risk mitigation provided by vendors specializing in cyber security and data privacy concerns
- Better understand how a carefully targeted specialty insurance policy can be tailored to a company’s needs
- Learn how post-event vendors can provide remedial services to get an insured back up and running
