In The Hot Seat with Anil Vasagiri
Summary:
In this episode of Insurance Unplugged, Lisa Wardlaw interviews Anil Vasagiri, SVP and Head of Property Solutions at Swiss Re, about the transformative opportunities and challenges of AI in the insurance industry. They discuss the potential of AI in extreme event modeling, behavioral sciences, and generative AI.
They also explore the integration of AI with other technologies, such as IoT, blockchain, and federated learning. Anil emphasizes the importance of data quality and the need for organizations to rethink their tech stack and data strategy. He encourages the industry to be open to experimentation and to focus on quality over quantity when it comes to data.
Takeaways:
AI has transformative potential in the insurance industry, particularly in areas such as extreme event modeling and behavioral sciences.
The integration of AI with other technologies, such as IoT, blockchain, and federated learning, requires organizations to rethink their tech stack and data strategy.
Data quality is crucial for obtaining accurate and reliable insights from AI.
Organizations should be open to experimentation and willing to test out new technologies and approaches.
Focusing on quality over quantity when it comes to data can lead to more impactful outcomes.
Chapters:
00:00 Introduction and Background
03:44 Transformative Opportunities and Challenges of AI in Insurance
09:34 Integrating AI with IoT, Blockchain, and Federated Learning
14:05 Rethinking Tech Stack and Data Strategy for AI Implementation
24:02 Embracing Experimentation and Testing in the Insurance Industry
Sound Bites:
"AI no doubt as you've described, right, is a tech that has truly transformation potential and it has already had quite some material impact on different facets of insurance value chain and it'll continue to have an outsized impact going forward."
"Any use case that has a human in the loop is a fair game, right? So if you look across end to end within the spectrum of your business processes, whether it's a question of dealing with high velocity, high volume data streams and sort of, or it is computationally intensive, a very structured, structure is probably not right the way."
"For a long time when people talked about data strategy, it was always quantity, right? So I have like these 450 attributes I'm looking at or 3000 attributes or leave alone the fact that many of these attributes that you have, are they current or are they stale? What really is the quality consistency across?"
