EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE

Effective operationalization of AI

What are the keys to success?

 

May 19 |11:30am CDT | Music City Center, Nashville

We’ve all heard the promises that AI will transform the insurance industry. However, it’s fair to say that these promises haven’t been fulfilled so far, with many organizations struggling to move beyond experimentation. The key to real impact? Trustworthy and governed data. Without reliable data, AI can’t deliver on its potential to optimize functions across every area of the business.

In this roundtable, we’ll discuss how insurers can break down data silos, integrate AI to automate existing workflows, and use trusted data to power underwriting, claims processing, and customer engagement. We’ll also explore balancing innovation with compliance, ensuring AI is explainable, fair, and aligned with regulatory requirements. Join us to share challenges, exchange ideas, and walk away with practical strategies to make AI work for your business today.

Welcome and participant introductions

Discussion 

  • Lessons from experimentation: what key learnings can be drawn from work with AI so far?
  • Getting the most out of AI: what data strategy do insurers need to underpin effective AI implementation?
  • Overcoming data silos: how can insurers best integrate data across business functions and product lines?
  • Improving the data pool: where can insurers work with ecosystem partners to develop new data streams?
  • Implementing AI across the business: what are the different roles that AI can play in underwriting and claims functions?
  • Tailoring transformation: how can insurers get the most out of the potential of AI in different areas of the insurance value chain?
  • Balancing innovation and compliance: what are the key regulatory requirements that insurers need to be thinking about?
