Under Stricter Regulation, Brokers and Insurers Tap AI to Maintain Compliance

Insurers and brokers are facing increasing regulatory pressure when reaching out to consumers. From robocalls or texts to solicit customers to showing favoritism by recommending specific car repair services, brokers and insurers must carefully follow regulatory requirements or face potential consequences, including fines and class-action lawsuits. Regulatory scrutiny is growing. Last year, the Federal Communications Commission issued a record $300 million fine against a company that specialized in auto warranty calls. More than 1,500 lawsuits were filed under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act in 2023, which allow consumers to sue for robocalls, or robotexts, with fines between $500 and $1,500 per call or text. Some insurers and brokers are harnessing technology to ensure their call centers are making compliant calls, and to help guide sales and claims agents to have more productive calls.
