Loughborough University and the Willis Research Network (WRN), with Z/Yen support, brought together a range of perspectives on the business application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its role in the ongoing digital transformation of the insurance industry. The goal wass to look beyond the day-to-day business decision-making and examine the broader challenges of employing AI, the implication for business models and to address some of the organisational and public policy challenges to make effective use of these new technologies. We had a mix of top university researchers and industry practitioners participating as both presenters and panellists to enhance our depth of knowledge around AI and the use of AI in our industry. It was a stimulating day of open debate and insightful discussion.
