AI & insurance: A conversation with CTOs leading the charge

Tuesday, September 29, 2026
AI-Powered Insurance Innovation Summit
FormatPanel Discussion

AI is reshaping every stage of the insurance value chain—from sales and underwriting to claims—and successful integration increasingly depends on leaders who can drive change across the enterprise. Whether that responsibility sits with a Chief AI Officer, Chief Innovation Officer, Chief Technology Officer, or a similar cross-functional leader, the challenge is the same: how to deploy AI in ways that enhance human expertise, improve productivity, and maintain operational discipline. We'll explore how insurers are designing effective collaboration between people and intelligent agents, how they are measuring productivity gains without sacrificing control, and what leadership decisions are proving most critical in practice.
