AI is revolutionising the insurance industry—from claims processing to customer experience—but real gains depend on how deeply it’s embedded across operations.
Despite its conservative roots, the insurance sector is undergoing a major transformation powered by artificial intelligence. From automating claims to enhancing underwriting precision, AI is already proving its worth—but many insurers still struggle to convert adoption into meaningful returns.
Take claims handling: once a weeks-long process buried in paperwork, it can now be resolved in seconds. Lemonade famously used AI to settle over a third of its claims instantly, and a major US travel insurer automated 57% of its 400,000 annual claims, reducing wait times from weeks to minutes.
This speed comes with accuracy. AI can cut human error and reduce claims leakage by up to 30%, enabling adjusters to handle up to 50% more cases. This shift frees human teams to focus on complex, high-empathy scenarios.
Underwriters are also seeing benefits. AI tools analyse vast datasets—such as telematics or credit history—to produce highly accurate, tailored risk assessments. Zurich’s new platform increased its risk assessment accuracy by 90%, while also enabling real-time responses to emerging threats such as cyberattacks or climate impacts.
Customer interaction is changing too. AI-powered chatbots deliver round-the-clock support, while behavioural data allows insurers to proactively offer relevant products—fostering trust in an industry where more than 30% of claimants report dissatisfaction.
AI also enhances fraud detection, identifying patterns no human could spot and potentially slashing fraud-related losses by up to 40%.
Supporting this transformation are low-code platforms, which allow non-technical staff to build applications quickly. This accelerates innovation without compromising security—crucial for compliance-heavy sectors like insurance.
But the biggest barriers aren’t technical—they’re cultural. Legacy systems, siloed data, and outdated mindsets prevent companies from fully harnessing AI’s power. The firms seeing the greatest benefits—up to 48% improvement in Net Promoter Scores and 14% higher customer retention—are those with strong leadership, a clear AI strategy, and investment in upskilling.
With the AI insurance market expected to top $14 billion by 2034 and potentially unlock $1.1 trillion in annual value, the message is clear: the winners won’t be those dabbling—they’ll be those leading boldly, with AI embedded into their DNA.
