Understanding AI: What It Is and Where It Works in Insurance 

January 6, 2026  |  2pm ET  |  45 minutes

 

Kicking off a new year is the perfect time for insurers to reassess how AI fits into their strategies and operations. This session offers a clear, practical overview of what AI actually is – beyond the buzzwords. We’ll explore the realistic ways AI can support day-to-day insurance work, from processing unstructured documents to assisting underwriting, claims, and servicing teams.

As organizations set priorities for the year ahead, we’ll discuss how to determine where AI is the right fit, how to make sure AI is giving correct and usable results, and why process clarity is essential for successful adoption. You’ll leave with a grounded understanding of where AI can add value in 2026 and how to prepare your teams and systems to use it effectively.
