Session E The impact of AI on the car insurance industry Oculus Breakout Space

This talk will look at the impact of AI on the car insurance industry. With mobile phones, electric vehicles and emerging Connected Car and Autonomous Vehicle technologies, the depth and breadth of data available on customers’ driving is at unprecedented levels. This means that the traditional approach to data analytics will not work in this new era. As a result, AI is changing all different aspects of car insurance, from risk assessment and pricing to customer engagement and operations management. The talk will also share Driverly’s case study, an award-winning insurtech based in Cardiff. This session will be introduced by Dr Bo Kelestyn, Associate Professor and Course Director (MSc Management of Information Systems & Digital Innovation).

He started Driverly in 2021 to make car insurance work for young drivers. Driverly offers flexible monthly subscription policies, powered by AI, designed for young drivers.
