ChatGPT: AI’s potential in the insurance sector
Published on 8 de June de 2023

In recent years, the insurance industry has undergone significant changes driven by technology. The incorporation of AI tools has enabled the creation of highly personalised services, improving customer satisfaction and reducing premium leakage for insurance companies.

It is at this juncture that AI platforms such as ChatGPT are making inroads into the insurance industry. A study carried out by the company COVU, claims that ChatGPT and other similar tools could achieve savings of 30% in customer service costs. The same report claims that it is these technologies that will revolutionise the sector by digitally transforming the industry in the coming years.

The insurance industry must be prepared to successfully incorporate the necessary changes to adapt to the new reality that the OpenAI platform, and the AI in general, are building. Let’s have a look at the strengths for the sector.

Improving customer experience

The implementation of tools such as ChatGPT can enhance customer service, in fact, this is the area where the benefits of this technology are most evident. Customers will be able to ask questions, obtain information and troubleshoot their insurance policies in real time, resulting in a significant improvement in customer satisfaction and loyalty.

This translates into the ability to efficiently provide answers in multiple languages, which in turn increases customer interaction and reduces the call load that insurance agents and staff typically receive.

The benefits of this implementation are therefore twofold: firstly, it achieves greater customer satisfaction and frees up insurance staff to address more pressing issues. Secondly, it gives insurance companies the ability to digitise sales and distribution, allowing ChatGPT, through its natural language processing (NLP), to also provide advice to customers on the products and services that best suit their needs.

Automating underwriting and risk analysis

AI and natural language platforms can be used to automate processes such as underwriting. Underwriting is generally time-consuming because it relies on the evaluation and assessment of risk, however, ChatGPT has the power to strengthen data collection and analysis by searching digital resources for similar cases, which helps insurers identify patterns of risk while reducing underwriting time. With this predictive model, risks can be mitigated long before they become problematic, allowing the underwriting process to be accelerated while delivering quality customer service and protecting the insurance company from taking on the wrong risk.

Improving cross-selling efficiency

As a natural language model, ChatGPT can analyze large amounts of data to identify patterns and trends in customer behaviour. This can help insurance companies identify cross-selling opportunities and offer customers relevant additional products and services. It is expected that in the coming years, these AI technologies will be fully incorporated into the industry, enabling access to a wealth of information about consumer behaviour that will completely change the way insurance sales are designed.

Accelerating innovation

As we have seen, ChatGPT have proven to be very useful in helping insurers analyse large amounts of data, improve customer service, improve sales, or detect hidden patterns and correlations in risk relationships. This also directly helps insurers to improve their services by developing new products that better meet customer needs, as well as allowing them to devote more resources to innovation. The insurance industry has a great opportunity with AI to adapt to the future insurance market and respond innovatively to customer demands.

ChatGPT Potential Insurance

In short, implementing tools such as ChatGPT ensures the insurance industry keeps pace with digital customer demands, enabling insurers to be more competitive and achieve better sales results by being more efficient. Taken together, these benefits enable insurers to adapt and thrive in an ever-evolving business environment, where digital transformation is critical to staying relevant and providing a satisfying customer experience. Advanced AI technology solutions, such as InsurTech, enable insurers to strengthen their market position and take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the digital age.
