InsurTech SF Event Details

This event is our first partner event with Plug and Play and will be held as part of their Winter Silicon Valley Summit.

Artificial Intelligence has become a buzzword recently after the launch of Chat GPT 3 (now 4), Google’s Bard, and Claude. However, many of the initial applications of AI have been more for entertainment or personal assistant-like tasks. The tough part is to find the right applications of AI within the insurance industry that add value to core functions.

As the workforce ages, technology will be necessary to assist workers in insurance to do their jobs with smaller teams. AI can be the solution, especially in areas like claims where there is a substantial amount of data aggregation and manual review needed to adjudicate a claim.

To help understand these challenges, this event will feature a panel on AI in claims and a live 2-vs-2 debate on AI vs. privacy.

Venue Note: Plug and Play Tech Center December Summit is a private event. Tickets to the session does not allow entry to the three-day conference at Plug and Play Tech Center. Doors for this session open at 2:00 PM to check in. NO WALK-IN ALLOWED

Agenda Overview

3:15PM – Welcome and Introductions

3:20 PM – Panel: Impact of AI on Claims

3:45 PM – Debate: Balancing Generative AI Data Sources with Privacy Needs

4:45 PM – Happy Hour
