Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, a leader in the specialty property and casualty (P&C) market, has partnered with Gradient AI, a leading enterprise software provider of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in the insurance industry, to power its Accident and Health (A&H) division's latest technology driven stop-loss solution, SkyVantage. AI and ML News: Why SMBs Shouldn't Be Afraid of Artificial Intelligence (AI) As employer healthcare costs continue to rise, an increasing number of businesses are turning to self-funded health insurance models. However, lack of access to sufficient historical data leaves many companies unable to purchase stop-loss insurance, access necessary protection to self-fund employee benefits and take advantage of the value-added quality and cost containment solutions afforded to self-funded employers. These employers are relegated to the fully insured market to provide health benefits, resulting in double-digit annual increases and plan designs that leave employees functionally uninsured. Skyward Specialty A&H met this challenge with SkyVantage, which leverages Gradient AI's SAIL medical underwriting solution.

This is an opportunity for insurance carriers to differentiate with an always-on, contextual educational experience in addition to improved digital self-service options. While a single agent or broker can't offer personalized advice to thousands of individual insureds with varying needs and levels of knowledge, technology can. Digital assistants and chatbots can answer questions, guide plan members through enrollment, and recommend new products and services based on a plan member's health and demographic information. Like human assistants, the best digital assistants are proactive, not reactive. Ella, the name of Sun Life's AI-enabled "digital coach" first launched in 2018, encourages plan members to take action on important deadlines, cost-savings, and product offerings.

Forty percent of HR leaders believe artificial intelligence will help fill the skills gap. That's according to a new study by Learning House and Future Workplace, which surveyed 600 U.S. HR leaders.
