How will AI affect the insurance industry?
Insurance is a complex and highly regulated industry, and as a result, tends to be cautious when it comes to new technologies.
Surrounded by AI hype, it’s tempting to dive in headfirst, but careful planning and a strong foundation are both necessary. While insurance must move forward, we encourage companies to view AI as a tool like any other – and keep human expertise at the center. At ReSource Pro, we take a three-pronged approach to help our clients fully leverage AI: Integrate, Optimize, Digitize.

“AI isn’t new in insurance. The biggest challenge that carriers and agencies face is the fragmented and complex nature of the industry itself. To get true business value out of AI, insurance organizations must first lay the proper foundation.”
Dan Epstein
CEO, ReSource Pro
CEO perspective:
Is your organization ready for AI?
While almost all organizations name AI as a key focus, only 37% believe they’re ready to implement it.
Before effectively leveraging AI, companies must start with a strong foundation.
