The speciality insurance sector is on the cusp of a significant transformation driven by the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI). While AI presents exciting opportunities to improve efficiency, decision-making, and customer experience, it also brings unique challenges that require careful navigation.
Understanding the Challenges
Speciality insurers face distinct hurdles when adopting AI, including:
- Data Scarcity and Quality: Limited or highly specialised data sets make it difficult to train and validate AI models effectively.
- Model Explainability and Trust: Explaining complex AI decisions in areas like liability or professional indemnity insurance is crucial for maintaining trust and meeting regulatory requirements.
- Regulatory Compliance: Navigating the evolving landscape of AI regulations, including the EU AI Act, GDPR, and FCA guidelines, requires careful consideration and expertise.
- Standard Formula vs Internal Models: A key challenge is Balancing standardised models with the need for bespoke internal models that accurately capture unique speciality risks. The challenge of balancing standard formulas vs. internal models is particularly relevant when calculating the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) under Solvency II regulations. While the Standard Formula provides a standardised approach for quantifying various risk modules, it may only partially capture the nuances of speciality lines. Insurers must carefully consider their limitations and explore the potential benefits of developing internal models, which can be more risk-sensitive and tailored to their needs.
- Claims Processes: Automating claims assessment in speciality lines demands sophisticated AI capable of understanding complex policy wordings and assessing unique loss scenarios.
