As artificial intelligence reshapes the insurance industry, how can companies embrace automation while keeping human judgment at the center of decision-making?

In this episode of The Insuring Cyber Podcast, Sivan Avihud, director of underwriting operations at ErgoNext, and Sameet Gupte, co-founder and CEO of EvolutIQ, discuss the evolving relationship between AI and the insurance workforce. Avihud shares how a technology-driven culture can help insurers leverage AI to increase efficiency, empower employees and improve the customer experience without replacing the human element.
