Understanding the Shift
The insurance industry is experiencing a technological revolution driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (Gen-AI). Genpact executives Suhas Sethi and Manoj Kumar emphasize the transformative potential of these technologies. They discuss how Gen-AI can improve efficiency, enhance customer service, and create competitive advantages for insurers. However, challenges such as data quality and lack of structured plans hinder widespread adoption.
Key Insights
- Gen-AI is not just about improving productivity; it is also about gaining a competitive edge.
