Earnix, Part 1: How Tech Changes Are Challenging Insurance Companies - FintechWire Innovators Podcast

In this first part of a two-part podcast on insurance company competitiveness, we ask: How can insurance companies compete – and win – in a rapidly changing industry?
Insurers can sometimes be slow to adopt new technology and processes that are increasingly needed to not only survive but also thrive.
To help us understand what insurers are up against, we’ve invited Aaron Wright, Director of Strategy at Earnix to join the podcast. Aaron and his team at Earnix produce an annual trends report surveying 400 insurance executives to understand what they’re thinking about and how they’re reacting to this change.
Also joining us today is veteran insurance industry thought leader Rob McIsaac. Rob is a former executive principal at Novarica, and CEO and president at consultant RPM Ventures NC.

Shift Technology: Improving the Combined Ratio with AI - FintechWire Innovators Podcast

We’re talking insurance in today’s episode of the FintechWire Innovators Podcast. The insurance industry is facing a period where claims costs are outstripping premiums, and this is leading to an industry average combined ratio of more than 100 percent for 2023.
Process efficiency alone is not enough to make up the gap, so insurers are looking for new ways to bridge that gap – applying AI to policy and claims challenges is one place to start.
To help us understand how insurers are addressing this challenge, we’ve invited Jeremy Jawish, CEO and Co-Founder of Shift Technology to join us.
Shift delivers AI decisioning solutions to benefit the global insurance industry and its customers. The company’s products enable insurers to automate and optimize decisions from underwriting to claims, resulting in superior customer experiences, increased operational efficiency, and reduced costs.
Also joining the discussion is veteran insurance industry consultant and thought leader, Jeff Goldberg.

Evident Insights: How Ready are Banks for AI? - FintechWire Innovators Podcast

In today’s episode of the FintechWire Innovators Podcast, we’re asking how ready are banks for artificial intelligence, especially now that generative AI and ChatGPT are here?
AI is transforming the financial industry, from underwriting and risk to customer service and investing. Banks and financials have been hiring and investing in this transformative technology, but a number of sources have shown that they still have work to do.
To help us understand how banks are addressing this challenge we invited Alexandra Mousavizadeh, CEO and cofounder of Evident Insights to join us.
Alexandra and her team created the Evident AI Index comparing the AI capabilities of major banks, and establishing a global standard benchmark of AI maturity for the banking sector.
