How has AI changed the insurance industry?

Hey Guys,


My name is Siva Ponnaganti, a Technology leader in the Insurance domain with 22 years of experience. I have built applications by leveraging various technologies: Cloud, Big Data & AI/ML.


Today, I’m going to share my experience on how AI/ML technology can be used in the Insurance industry. Let's take an example of ‘Claims processing of a damaged car’.

If a car is damaged in an accident, then the Insurance company process the claim by:

  • The driver submits the claim manually

  • The Insurance company start processing the claim

  • The Insurance company will send a specialist for physical inspection of damaged car

  • The specialist will assess the claim and determine the cost for repair

  • The specialist will approve the claim

  • The insurance company will send the payment to the customer


With AI/ML technology, the claims processing of a damaged car is completely transformed.

  • The driver takes the pictures of damaged parts of the car & upload them

  • A ML algorithm assess the images of damaged car and determine the repair cost

  • Automated workflow to send the payment to the customer


As you can see, the processing is drastically simplified due to AI/ML technology. The ML algorithms can detect the damaged parts, identify the severity of the damage, and assess the cost for repair.


Please check the following video (credit: WEPROOV) to get a good understanding of how the AI/ML app can process the images of damaged cars.


The AI/ML technology can be applied in many business areas of Insurance. Stay tuned for more technology updates.
