Parametric insurance will soon increase sharply across property insurance lines because that coverage lends itself perfectly to data-driven AI programs

Let's dive into why this matters and what it means for you.

Imagine getting your insurance claim approved faster than you can say "artificial intelligence." 🏎️ Well, thanks to AI, that's not just a fantasy.

Thomas Wetzel, an AI and cybersecurity guru, recently enlightened us on how AI is revolutionizing the insurance sector at the Florida Association of Insurance Agents’ annual convention in Orlando.

Wetzel predicts a massive surge in the adoption of parametric insurance, a type of policy that triggers payouts based on predefined events like wind speed or flood levels. This is where AI shines—processing vast amounts of data swiftly and accurately to assess risks and trigger payouts almost instantly.

“The average car claim takes about six minutes. AI can do it in six seconds,” Wetzel said. “So, we’re going to be seeing a lot more parametric insurance and it’s all because of AI.”

Why is parametric insurance becoming the next big thing?

Here are a few reasons :

• ⏱️ Speedy Payouts: Traditional claims processes can be painfully slow. Parametric insurance, powered by AI, can cut this time drastically. Wetzel points out that while the average car claim takes six minutes, AI can do it in six seconds!

• 📊 Accurate Risk Assessment: AI's data-crunching prowess means it can analyze more information than any human ever could, leading to more precise risk assessments and fairer premiums.

• 😊 Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: Faster payouts and accurate assessments mean happier customers who can repair and recover more quickly after a disaster.

While AI is making waves, it won't replace the human element.

Insurance is, at its core, a trust-based business.

Wetzel reassures that clients still value personal interactions—a friendly face or a comforting voice on the phone. Agents can use AI as a powerful tool to enhance their service, not replace it.

Here are some practical tips for insurance agents to leverage AI effectively:

• 🖥️ Use AI as an Assistant: From drafting emails to scheduling meetings and summarizing reports, AI can handle routine tasks, freeing up time for agents to focus on building relationships.

• 📚 Educate Clients: Be transparent about how AI is being used. This builds trust and helps clients understand the benefits.

• 🔒 Stay Updated on Cybersecurity: With great AI power comes great responsibility. Cybercriminals are also using AI to up their game. Ensure your staff is trained on cybersecurity best practices and work with consultants to safeguard your systems.

AI isn't just a force for good; it's also being weaponized by cybercriminals.

Logan Edmonds, CEO of Tabernacle Tech, highlights the importance of robust cybersecurity measures. Two-factor authentication, regular software updates, and constant vigilance are crucial.

New regulations on AI and cybersecurity are on the horizon. But as Wetzel wisely notes, "The best regulation is self-regulation." Embrace AI, understand its capabilities, and use it responsibly.

🧑‍🏫 Imagine as business school professor, you often use the case method to engage your students in critical thinking and real-world problem-solving. 🧑‍🏫

Lets us take one of imaginary case example to teach is 🚗 Tesla's Market Expansion Strategy 🚗, focusing on the company's strategic decisions to enter the Chinese market. To prepare for an upcoming session, I decided to use AI to help draft some potential discussion questions.

Step 1- Case Based Approach 📝

I am a business school professor. I would like your help drafting some potential questions for a session I teach by the case method. The case I use for the session is on Tesla's Market Expansion Strategy, focusing on Tesla Inc.'s strategic decisions to expand its market globally, particularly in China. The case protagonist is Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, who faces the challenge of balancing innovation, market demand, and regulatory environments. Key passages in the case cover the challenges and strategies involved in entering new markets, including considerations of local competition, regulatory hurdles, and supply chain management. Suggest 10 questions I might ask related to these passages, please

Step 2- Refine question results in line with your discussion goals 🔍

“Do the same thing again, but this time, put the 10 questions into three categories: description, diagnosis, action.”

Step 3- Connect questions to case concepts 📚

“Let’s take question one. Can you suggest some academic concepts or frameworks that a discussion of this question could illuminate?”

Step 4- Source examples to illustrate case concepts 🌐

Can you suggest three real examples of businesses that used innovation by design as they built or rolled out products and services?

Step 5- Simulate live case discussions 🗣️

“I’d like you to help me practice teaching this session on Tesla's Market Expansion Strategy. I am going to ask you a question. Please create three student personas: Red Deck, Green Deck, and Blue Deck. Please pick one of them at random to answer the question. Provide an answer from them. Then, ask two follow-up questions. Make the first an ‘exploration’ question, inviting them to expand on their answer in some way. Provide their answer. Make the second a ‘challenge’ question, pushing back on their responses, perhaps by citing contrary evidence. Provide their answer. Then, pick one of the other students to respond to what they heard from the first student. After that, ask the final student to respond to what they heard from the first student. The question is, Tesla's Market Expansion Strategy, focusing on Tesla Inc.'s strategic decisions to expand its market globally, particularly in China."
