Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the insurance industry, bringing both opportunities and new challenges. From improving underwriting accuracy and automating claims processing to fighting fraud, AI is streamlining operations like never before. 👨💻 But for such a traditionally risk-averse sector, there are also significant risks to manage, including algorithmic bias, data privacy concerns and evolving regulation. In-house legal teams play a pivotal role in balancing innovation with risk management, ensuring compliance and helping insurance companies maximise the potential of AI while safeguarding their operations. 🔒 Curious about how AI is reshaping the industry?
