2023 marked the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) as an indispensable tool for the day-to-day functioning of a wide variety of sectors of the economy. 2024, meanwhile, will be the year that will mark the definitive explosion and expansion of AI with new uses and new techniques such as the introduction of generative AI.
According to a study by N5, a multinational software company specializing in the financial sector, the insurance industry will be one of the areas whose operation will have the greatest impact due to the adoption of this technology, both in Argentina and in the rest of the region.
N5’s plan to avoid scams with artificial intelligence
“Just as our ancestors learned to master fire, financial organizations must now learn to navigate and integrate AI to transform their processes and strategies. AI adoption is not only a competitive advantage, but a fundamental necessity to survive in a market that values speed, accuracy, and innovation. Strategically integrating AI into business is like taking the next evolutionary step, ensuring they remain relevant and capable in a world increasingly driven by data and automation,” said Julián Colombo, CEO and founder of N5.
“We’ve had a few stages in history where we evolved from the use of simple tools in prehistory to the digital revolution. Today, artificial intelligence is the new evolutionary milestone and financial organizations must learn to navigate and integrate AI to transform their processes and strategies, just as our ancestors needed to learn how to harness fire. This adoption is not only a competitive advantage, but a fundamental necessity to survive in a market that values speed, accuracy, and innovation. That’s why, at N5, we are dedicated to identifying and anticipating the emerging trends that this technology will delineate for the financial sector over the years. We are committed to ensuring that our customers are always ahead of the curve in the market,” he added.
The AI trends detected by N5 will lead to improvements in cybersecurity and automation models.
The company details the five trends and challenges that mark the emergence of Artificial Intelligence in the insurance sector during 2024:
- AI Automation: The implementation of AI-powered algorithms enables more and more organizations to advance the automation of claims processes, speeding up and streamlining the evaluation and processing of customer claims and the administration of policies.
- Improved predictive models: Risk assessment is one of the most central instances in the insurance industry. Thanks to AI, companies in the sector will adopt more advanced predictive models to make more accurate and timely decisions for policy prequalification and rate definition, the development of risk mitigation strategies, and the creation of new products.
- More personalized interactions: The introduction of generative AI will enable the development of new systems that enable a more contextualized and personalized interaction between insurers and their customers. Thanks to the comprehensive use of big data and the advanced analytics made possible by this tool, insurers can now create more attractive offers to meet the specific needs of their customers, improving customer satisfaction and retention rates.
- Pattern and fraud detection: The intensive use of AI will provide insurers with a more sophisticated tool for the early detection and prevention of fraud patterns. Not only will this allow insurers to better prevent and manage fraudulent situations, but it will also result in a significant amount of money saved and lower premium rates for honest consumers.
- Virtual assistants for customers: the use of generative AI will allow the development of smarter and more accurate virtual assistants this year, capable of offering customers hyper-personalized advice on information about policies, coverage and procedures, significantly improving the user experience and satisfaction rates.
The interpretation and rapid adoption of these five trends can contribute greatly to the growth of any company in the insurance sector, making it more efficient, accessible and adapted to the demands of modern consumers. “Embracing the new is what keeps companies competitive. At N5 we understand these challenges and work accordingly to simplify and accelerate the digital transformation of the sector, offering unique solutions that meet the specific needs of each client, enabling them to respond to new market demands,” adds Colombo.
