Transform the insurance industry with big data, machine learning and AI - Illinois News Today

Businesses that ensure protection from financial losses and mitigate risk are as old as human civilization. The Code of Hammurabi, King of Babylon, written in 1750-1755 BC, specified the first provision of what we now know as marine insurance. In the wake of the Great Fire of London in 1666, Sir Christopher Wren included the provision of an "insurance office" in his new plan for the city of London. Today, the global insurance market is estimated to be a $ 5,550,310 million industry consisting of major commercial life insurance, non-life insurance, health insurance and health insurance companies. Against this backdrop, a new wave of "InsurTech" solution companies is exploring transformation of the insurance business through the introduction of big data, machine learning and AI capabilities.
