Agenda

As insurers move beyond early AI experimentation, a new phase is emerging—one where intelligence begins to initiate actions, coordinate decisions, and operate with defined autonomy. Agentic AI marks a shift in how underwriting, claims, operations, and servicing customers are executed. 

 This Innovation Showcase highlights Agentic AI in practice, using real workflows and live demonstrations, while grounding these capabilities in today’s operational realities—legacy systems, regulatory oversight, and organizational change. The focus is on what is possible now, how to evaluate it responsibly, and how autonomy fits within the evolving intelligent insurer. 

Core Content Focus

  • The Human–AI Strategic Alliance 
    How roles, workflows, decision ownership, and escalation paths evolve as AI systems move from assistive tools to autonomous actors. 
  • Agentic AI in Action 
    What changes when systems can reason, decide, and act—demonstrated through real underwriting, claims, and operational workflows. 
  • Knowledge, Content & Context as Agentic Infrastructure 
    Why unstructured data, institutional knowledge, and context are foundational to enabling reliable agentic systems. 
  • Safe, Governed & Explainable Autonomy 
    Defining boundaries, oversight, accountability, and regulatory confidence as autonomy increases. 
  • Pragmatic Adoption Under Real-World Constraints 
    How insurers explore and apply agentic capabilities without waiting for full core modernization—separating durable signals from hype.
