The technology necessary to deliver cutting-edge AI solutions across the insurance ecosystem appears to have finally arrived-with the potential to spur a new wave of investment and transaction activity.

• The prevalence of manual and prone-to-error tasks across the value chain
• A coming surge in retirements and difficulty recruiting young people to the sector
• Measurable declines in customer satisfaction and retention
