Artificial intelligence is rapidly gaining momentum and being actively adopted by mature business leaders. From chatbots accelerating better customer service to algorithms streamlining burdensome manual processes – the dynamic business digitization is taking over the insurance sector.
Market overview
In the last decades, artificial intelligence became irreplaceable in various business verticals all across the world. Insurance providers, for example, have seen great outcomes from investing in adopting computer technology to automate routine processes.
As stated by institutions in the United States:
- In 2021, there were 300 million people with health insurance
- Insurance fraud is stealing at least $308.6 billion every year from the average consumer
The rising veterinary costs and costs for grooming, personal and dental treatment, and other common services, as well as rising pet adoption since the COVID outbreak among others have been greatly driving pet insurance. With that, many providers have witnessed more people getting interested in getting veterinary reimbursement – while there are still few organizations, which provide pet insurance, more and more companies are expected to join the trend.
As more pet owners are getting pet insurance, the industry is expected to grow:
- In 2021, 151.1 million American households were reported to become dog or cat owners
- In the same year, the worldwide pet insurance market size was valued at almost $3 billion
Main trends to watch

AI for pet insurance: Business value
1. Speed up claim processing
Manually processing personal information, coverage details, medical reports, and other common documents? Artificial intelligence can recognize, extract, collect, and analyze necessary information perfectly accurately, minimizing time and cost.
2. No more human error
Customer management, policy issuance, risk assessment, product distribution, and more are prone to error. Mathematical algorithms can handle day-to-day routines without discordance, eliminating potential reputational and financial damage.
3. Fraud detection and prevention
Repeated filing, historical rejection, fake and staged accidents, policy and premium fraud are all real issues. Artificial intelligence can monitor potential imposture by analyzing high-risk profiles to identify roguery before actual occurrence.
4. Regulatory compliance
Insurance companies might also experience challenges with keeping internal operations regulatory compliant. Modern solutions might help seamlessly navigate the evolving regulatory landscape facilitating compliance with standards such as the CCPA, the CPRA, the GLBA, and HIPAA, to name a few.
Summing up
By leveraging artificial intelligence and other advanced techniques (machine and deep learning, for example), insurance companies increase revenue, decrease errors, and considerably enhance overall business operation. Introducing automation, strategic leaders might transform manual routines into perfectly aligned workflows boosting performance.
