How one company learned to reinvent itself daily in the AI age

Online life insurance agency Haven Life announced an upgrade to its service earlier this week that could let you buy a life insurance policy in just a few minutes after answering about 30 questions -- possibly with no medical checkup. That speed of underwriting is made possible by artificial intelligence the two-year-old company has built into its offering. The company is one example of a new breed of fast-moving businesses built atop AI. It's difficult to get a good idea of the types of machine learning these companies are building into their products, as they're giving very little away at this stage. But they're constantly iterating: testing out new machine-run decision-making processes and then migrating the next part of their business over to those systems once they prove secure.
