Keynote: The Future Is Agentic: Transitioning from Traditional to Algorithmic to Autonomous Insurance
27 Jan 2026
Main stage
Tech, AI & Change in Traditional Insurance
Agentic AI is not just a technology upgrade; it’s a transformation of the insurance value chain. For commercial and specialty lines, where complexity and judgement matter, the challenge is designing AI that doesn’t replace expertise but amplifies it. This session will provide practical insights from the development and deployment of agentic systems for insurers:
- Understand how agentic AI can orchestrate underwriting, claims, and product innovation in commercial and specialty markets—moving from static rules to adaptive, self-optimising workflows
- Discuss how to embed human subject matter expertise into autonomous systems to leverage your competitive advantages while preserving your IP
- Examine the organisational and cultural shifts required to scale agentic AI responsibly, including talent strategies and cross-functional governance
- Identify and assess AI-specific risks, how they intercorrelate with other risks like cyber, climate or war, and how they might amplify and affect societal and geopolitical risks
