How AI-Based Contract Intelligence Supercharges Contract Lifecycle Management

While Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gained traction with enterprises in other industries, insurance providers have been slower to adopt. In 2016, research by Deloitte noted that less than 2% of insurance companies were currently investing in artificial intelligence technologies. This same research noted that overall funding in AI development was projected to reach $47 billion by 2020.
Today, as AI has become prevalent, more and more insurance companies are looking for advanced solutions that will help them effectively process their repositories of day-to-day paperwork and the unstructured data they contain. Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) platform solutions that leverage AI technology are uniquely positioned to help these companies realize significant gains. 

Listen to this talk to learn more about:
- the challenges of automating document processing 
- advances in natural language processing that overcome these challenges
- 3 example use cases from the insurance industry that can be streamlined with IDP:  quoting, policy compare, submissions & claims

Using AI to Streamline Document Processing in the Insurance Industry

According to Gartner, legal departments will increase their spend on legal technology threefold by 2025. A large share of these investments goes to contract management solutions that centralize all contracts in one single system, while assisting subject matter experts in managing the lifecycle of contracts, compliance requirements and more. 
These systems are more and more leveraging advanced technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence, which remain obscure to most legal specialists, making it difficult for them to compare the different approaches. 
This question and answer session covers the steps required in the process of evaluating AI-based solutions to automate contract review and analysis:
- Search for training material
- Annotation of training material
- Methods to compare results
- Calculation of precision
- Identification of potential AI-based solutions
- Integration with an existing system

How to Evaluate AI-Based Solutions for Legal Tech

The goal of this panel discussion is to give some initial information to experts from the insurance industry who want to explore Natural Language Understanding (NLU) solutions as a means to improve the operational efficiency of their organization. 

In this panel discussion, four NLU experts talk about:
- the motivations for exploring AI & NLU solutions in the insurance sector
- the typical challenges encountered and examples of use cases
- how NLU can address these challenges
- how a solution is implemented in an enterprise environment.

Application of Natural Language Understanding in the Insurance Industry

More and more companies sitting on large collections of agreements and other documents recognize the importance of embracing automated review and analysis solutions. However, selecting an efficient and reliable tool that adds strategic value to the organization can be a challenge, especially when AI skills are not available.

This webinar goes through the top 5 criteria one needs to assess to make sure a contract analysis tool will improve efficacy and save time and money:

1) Can the solution identify terms and clauses with a high level of accuracy?
2) How easily and quickly can the solution be trained to meet company-specific requirements?
3) Can the solution correctly interpret and classify clauses based on meaning?
4) Does the solution allow for semantic search across documents?
5) Does the solution easily integrate with other systems?

5 Criteria to Evaluate Contract Review & Analysis Solutions

Training one single AI language model emits more carbon dioxide than 5 cars during their whole lifetime. While the AI community is becoming more and more aware of the sustainability issues of artificial intelligence and of the large training models, there is still no consensus about the best way to solve this problem.

This webinar explores:
   - The reasons behind AI energy-efficiency issues
   - Three approaches that try to solve this problem
      > Quantum computing
      > Hardware acceleration
      > Reverse engineering the brain
   - Semantic Folding, an approach that leverages reverse engineering the brain, and is already implemented in enterprise environments.

How to Reduce the Carbon Footprint of AI?

This video explains how an AI approach inspired by neuroscience can automatically handle the complexity of plan review and accurately extract information from a broad range of carrier contracts. The solution has been developed to meet the specific needs of plan review – for example, interpreting provisions, handling multiple products in a single plan, and managing different employee classes.

Key takeaways:
- Why Contract Intelligence can significantly improve the efficacy of operational processes
- How the solution helps reduce quoting efforts and get more timely and accurate quotes
- Which other processes can be transformed within the insurance industry

How to Transform the Insurance Quoting Process

By 2030, information and communication technologies will represent 21% of global energy needs. The environmental costs of the models being built constitute a major challenge of the application of machine learning to natural language. Mainstream approaches focus on very large models that manipulate language by means of statistics and require huge amounts of training data and computing power to get a superficial understanding of language. 

In his talk at AI Global Forum 2020, Francisco Webber, co-founder and CEO of Cortical.io, argues that the future of natural language understanding is to take an efficient approach towards AI leveraging what biology teaches us. By replicating the actual cognitive processes in the brain, Semantic Folding proposes a highly efficient NLU model that understands semantics at a fine-grained level.

Key takeaways:
- Why High Efficiency AI is the path for the future
- Which AI approach delivers orders-of-magnitude improvements in efficiency
- Why one should teach semantics rather than training data-intensive statistical models

High Efficiency AI: The Future of Information & Communication Technology

Contract Intelligence reduces the time and costs needed to review insurance documents. It uses AI-based natural language understanding to accurately search, extract and classify key information. It can be quickly trained by subject matter experts. 

In this video, you will see how Contract Intelligence automatically:
 
- extracts key terms and clauses based on meaning;
- classifies clauses and make inferences;
- deals with complex formatting including tables.

This demonstration also shows examples of extractions from long-term disability plans, as well as how easy it is to train a model by uploading new documents and creating extraction targets.

Cortical.io Contract Intelligence is a ready-to-use, AI-based solution that provides up to an 80% reduction in the time it takes to extract, review and analyze key information from any type of legal document.

Contract Intelligence – How to Automate Contract Review with AI & NLU

A patented Artificial Intelligence approach to natural language understanding enables Cortical.io Contract Intelligence to quickly extract provisions and values, based on the meaning of words and sentences, rather than relying on keyword matches. This is the best way to extract the information accurately from a broad range of carrier contracts. 
The solution has been developed to meet the specific needs of plan review – for example, interpreting provisions, handling multiple products in a single plan, and managing different employee classes. This greatly reduces the time needed by a quote specialist and increases accuracy, resulting in more timely and higher quality quotes.

Increasing the Efficiency and quality of the Insurance Quoting Process

Semantic Folding is a new paradigm for Natural Language Understanding (NLU) that overcomes the limitations of other Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches.
