Artificial Intelligence & Insurance: How the insurance sector is balancing efficiency with ethical responsibility
01 May 2025
“With great power comes great responsibility” is the iconic phrase popularized in the original Spider-Man movie, when Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben reminds us that those who hold power must use it responsibly for the good of others.
Far beyond the world of a web-slinging superhero, this message resonates deeply within today’s insurance industry, particularly as we embrace the power of artificial intelligence (AI).
AI undoubtedly holds transformative potential. In the insurance sector, we’re already witnessing its ability to deliver significant efficiencies, whether through faster claims processing, more accurate fraud detection, or personalized underwriting models. Going further, chatbots and virtual assistants further enhance customer experiences, providing immediate responses and round-the-clock service.
However, alongside these advantages come serious ethical considerations. AI raises concerns around data privacy and consent, and often lacks the transparency and interpretability that human insurance professionals provide. Decisions made by AI models can sometimes be seen as opaque, making it difficult for customers to fully understand how outcomes are determined.
To address this, the insurance sector must take a proactive approach in establishing ethical frameworks with clear guidelines that emphasize accountability, transparency, and fairness.
Strong data protection measures are crucial, backed by strict compliance with regulations to safeguard customer information with the highest standards of privacy and security. Equally important is the responsibility to educate customers on AI’s role in the insurance process and to ensure that there are always opportunities for human oversight and review when needed.
At ADNIC, we are committed to integrating cutting-edge technologies to deliver seamless, efficient, and personalized products for the benefit of our customers.
