Speaking Session - Saddle Up for Exploration and Execution: Operationalizing AI in Life Underwriting

Panel Time: April 21, 11am–12 pm CDT

AI adoption in life underwriting is no longer a conceptual discussion – it’s an operational priority. As more carriers move from exploration into implementation, the focus has shifted from what AI is to how to embed it responsibly, strategically, and at scale.

Through deep dives into real use cases, open dialogue about implementation hurdles, and a forward-looking debate on the underwriter’s evolving role, this panel will deliver practical insights for those shaping the next era of underwriting.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn proven strategies for operationalizing AI within existing underwriting workflows.
• Hear real-world examples of how carriers are implementing AI tools at scale.
• Identify common implementation challenges and how to overcome them.
• Explore what’s next in AI, from automation maturity to ecosystem collaboration and competitive differentiation.
