Programme Overview

The insurance industry is undergoing rapid transformation driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Across underwriting, claims, distribution, and customer engagement, AI is reshaping how insurers assess risk, deliver services, and create value. This programme provides a structured and practice-oriented understanding of AI technologies and their application within the insurance value chain. It focuses on enabling organisations to harness AI for innovation, operational efficiency, and enhanced decision-making, while ensuring alignment with governance, regulatory, and ethical considerations.

Programme Objectives

This programme aims to:

  • Provide a comprehensive overview of AI technologies and their relevance to the insurance industry.
  • Examine the application of AI across core insurance functions including underwriting, claims, actuarial, and customer engagement.
  • Explore emerging AI capabilities such as generative AI, agentic AI, and decision intelligence in insurance operations.
  • Introduce approaches to developing, deploying, and scaling AI use cases within insurance organisations.
  • Highlight governance, regulatory, and ethical considerations in the adoption of AI.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the programme, participants will be able to:

  • Explain key AI concepts, including generative AI, large language models (LLMs), and agentic AI, in an insurance context.
  • Apply AI techniques to support underwriting, claims management, fraud detection, and customer engagement.
  • Develop and evaluate AI-driven use cases for insurance operations.
  • Utilise appropriate tools and approaches for building or implementing AI models, including low-code solutions.
  • Assess risks and implement governance practices aligned with responsible AI principles and regulatory expectations.
  • Formulate an AI adoption roadmap relevant to their organisational context.
