Let us check out how Generative AI is impacting every vertical of the Insurance sector.

Marketing and Sales

Generative AI enables the sales team to mine useful insights out of enormous customer data from different sources, including online behavior, past interactions, and social media. AI algorithms analyze this data to generate detailed customer profiles and buyer personas. Based on these profiles, personalized solutions can be offered to customers. For example, Coforge AI-powered product Quasar can identify potential customers who have purchased a new home. Targeted insurance policies can be further offered to them.

Underwriting

Traditional underwriting is a time-consuming process and involves collecting and assessing individual risk factors manually. Generative AI automates this process by evaluating historical data, market trends, and other variables to assess risk. For instance, AI can quickly analyze a customer’s driving history, credit score, and other relevant factors to give an estimated insurance quote in real time.

Servicing and Policy Administration

No service sector can do without reliable and quick customer support. In the insurance sector, customers need 24/7 support for policy inquiries, claim updates, and general assistance. Gen AI is revolutionizing customer service through its AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants. For instance, a customer can report a car accident through a chatbot. Following it, the AI system will instantly initiate the claim process by guiding the customer through the necessary steps.

Claims Management

Claims management in insurance sectors involves the systematic process of handling and resolving claims made by policyholders. The traditional process of claim management requires feeding plenty of data manually. However, Generative AI automatically extracts and processes data from diverse documents, including claim forms, medical records, etc. In addition, Gen AI-powered systems can process claims in real time and detect discrepancies in records too. As a result, insurers can precisely process claims in reduced time.

Personalized Product Offerings

Generative AI uses predictive analytics which can be leveraged by insurance companies to offer personalized products based on individual customer data. Insurers can also target the most promising demographics for tailor-made products. It enables insurers to stay competitive. For instance, AI-powered system can evaluate a customer’s health records, lifestyle, habits, and genetic predisposition to craft a customized life insurance policy.

Predictive Risk Management

As already mentioned, Gen AI is powered by predictive analytics which can be used to assess emerging risks and potential threats to the insurance industry. By analyzing historical data and market trends, insurers can foresee risks, like extreme weather events, technological disruption, and economic downturns. This information can be utilized to gear up for the upcoming events. For example, Al's prediction of a region’s vulnerability to flooding can help insurers prepare for potential flood-related claims.
