SIR Webinar: Adoption and Deployment of AI: AM Best Survey Results (Open to All)
June 11 | 1 PM Eastern

Artificial intelligence (AI) has developed from a futuristic concept to an increasingly commonplace tool gaining widespread acceptance. Growing investment in AI is met by an increased need for regulatory oversight to protect both the insurance industry and individual consumers.
To gauge the impact of AI on the insurance industry, AM Best conducted a survey of its rated insurers. In this webinar, we present the findings from the survey, focusing on the current state of AI adoption in the insurance industry and where insurers think AI will make a significant impact in the medium term.

The value of connecting with content, programs, and people is one of the best investments in learning and leadership we have made.
