FormatPanel Discussion

The promise of agentic AI in insurance is no longer hypothetical — it's happening in production, across lines, and at scale. But the path from ambitious pilot to accountable deployment is rarely a straight line. This panel brings together technology and strategy leaders from across life and P&C to share what's actually working, what's stalled, and what they've learned getting there.

Each panelist brings a distinct lens: Christopher George on evaluating, investing in, and leveraging the AI companies reshaping insurance from the outside in; Patrick Gallic on scaling agentic workflows internationally across Tokio Marine's diversified P&C portfolio; and Tony Jacob on what it looks like when the architects of the underlying technology turn their attention to insurance — and what that means for how fast the industry needs to move.

The conversation will focus on the practical: how to identify the use cases most ready for agentic AI, the signals that distinguish a genuine production candidate from a durable POC, and the organizational and governance steps required to make the leap. No hype — just hard-won perspective from leaders who are doing it.
