Hear Jatin Atre speak:

How to Build the World's Smartest Insurance Company

The insurance industry has made enormous investments in digitization, automation, and workflow modernization. But the insurers that will win tomorrow won't be defined by who has the fastest workflows. They'll be defined by who makes the smartest decisions. Join Insurity CEO Jatin Atre as he explores what it takes to build a truly intelligent insurance company, one where AI, connected data, and embedded intelligence help every team make better decisions. From underwriting and pricing to premium audit and portfolio management, discover why intelligence, not workflow, is becoming the true driver of insurance performance and competitive advantage.

AI in Insurance: Where's the Real Return?

Every insurance conversation today circles back to AI. But leaders don't need more hype — they need answers. Where is AI actually moving the needle on loss ratios, underwriting speed, and combined ratio? Where are costs and risks quietly climbing? And what separates lasting ROI from expensive experimentation? Join AM Best for a discussion built for insurers and MGAs who are done guessing and ready to see the data.

We'll dig into:

- The AI use cases actually delivering measurable value across the industry
- Regulatory considerations shaping what you can (and can't) deploy
- Implementation challenges and investment priorities insurance leaders are wrestling with right now
- The real economics of scaling AI responsibly — without the risk of a stalled, costly pilot

This is an objective, research-backed look at where AI adoption in insurance truly stands, and what it takes to turn ambition into business outcomes. If you're setting AI strategy for your carrier or MGA, this conversation is for you.
