Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is an important trend in the microinsurance industry that can help providers improve their operations and better serve customers. One area where AI and ML can be particularly useful is in claims processing. By using algorithms to analyse and classify incoming claims based on various factors, AI and ML can automate the claims processing process, which can significantly reduce the time and cost involved in manual claims processing.

AI and ML can be useful is in providing real time customer claims service. Chatbots empowered with the AI can also provide 24/7 customer support and enable to file claims or questions regarding policies. This can improve the overall customer experience and reduce the workload for customer service agents.
Overall, the use of AI and ML in the microinsurance industry has the potential to improve operations, reduce costs, and provide better service to customers. However, it is important for microinsurance providers to ensure that the use of these technologies is transparent and ethical, and that customer data is protected and used responsibly.
