Carriers that have innovation teams need leadership to harness their capabilities, according to Gino Bonacci, president of personal lines at Gallagher, the global insurance brokerage. “If you can bring people along that journey, communicate, share what's going on, solicit their ideas, and show them how their ideas are part of the manager, it just becomes so much easier to get stuff actually done, and add value -- ROI,” he said. https://bit.ly/4cRq1ui #insurtech #startups #venturecapital

Howard Altschule, CCM and CEO of Forensic Weather Consultants, talks about how meterologists use data and technology to project where and when hurricanes will originate, on the Dig In podcast. “Using climatology and past weather data from the past 15, 20, 25 years, we can track things like ocean temperatures or El Nino or La Nina, which is a change in the global circulation patterns,” he said. “Being able to track the water temperatures and now these computer models and using artificial intelligence going back year by year by year, saying, okay, when the water temperature was the way it is now in 2024, what happened in that same type of scenario?” https://bit.ly/3W6fYuI #insurtech #insurance #HurricaneSeason

Hareem N., associate vice president of integrated analytics at Munich Re Life, spoke with Kaitlyn Mattson about how AI is being applied in life insurance for modeling and underwriting, and the governance challenges this presents. “Everyone's talking about how to use AI. But we've already done the legwork,” she said. “And our pace of iteration is a lot faster than maybe peers or competitors in that same sense. And a lot of that is because we invest in defining a governance framework, educating everybody on the team, making sure people are doing the right use cases, the right tools and then we also implement operationalizing, the technical side.” https://bit.ly/3ScQhYc #AI #insurtech #lifeinsurance
