The time of AI is upon us. While many are not worried about this buzzword, many firms are embracing the technology and doing what they can to get ahead of what seems inevitable. During this session, we will examine what is going on with AI, what are people using, what can be done, and how will this impact our lives. We will examine the insurability ramifications, and privacy concerns the leveraging of AI may create. Finally, if you think your firm isn’t already leveraging this, you may be wrong. We will talk about strategies others have put in place to help manage internally and externally the use of the evolving technology.
