The insurance industry has always been dominated by national brands and old fashioned approach so the new developments are changing the work flow dramatically. As investment is high in adopting technology oriented infrastructure, some firms are still not embracing AI. Cultural barrier and fear of replacing human is another challenge in the adoption of AI.  In order to stay ahead with competitors and to fulfil customer expectation, all insurance institutions will have to embrace AI enabled system in the coming years.

Few insurtech companies are already enjoying benefits of having AI enabled system because of simplified access for end users, stronger customer experience and cost optimization. The auto and health insurance industry have already started adopting AI in their policies.  AI in the insurance industry sector is still in its emerging phase. It is predicted that the chatbot technology will make huge growth in the future. AI for fraud detection and predictive analysis will make wave by 2020.
