For yet another week in a row we’re seeing more expansion from insurers with ERGO the latest to make a move into unchartered territories. Following on from other insurers’ M&A activity it’s exciting that we’re still seeing insurers invest and try to innovate their way out of the current economic crisis that’s overshadowing global activities.

From a technology perspective it’s unsurprising that Generative AI ranks very highly for insurers in terms of emerging risks. As we learned from our conference in Barcelona, Generative AI could be highly dangerous. Bad actors could use it to commit fraud both against the average consumer but also use consumer information to defraud insurers. Dangers within; dangers outside. However, it’s important to realise that this technology can be highly beneficial for all. While recognising the risks of Generative AI, it’s important to harness the benefits that it can give businesses and those who find the perfect balance between risk and reward will end up having the biggest competitive advantage as the years march on. Which businesses will take the leap is still unknown, but we’re watching with baited breath.
