In today’s insurance landscape, AI in underwriting, automation in claims processing, and digital transformation in the Lloyd’s market are frequently discussed, but how often do these technologies truly deliver? The ability to sell a vision often outweighs execution, leading to missed expectations, wasted investment, and operational inefficiencies.

Too many firms push AI-driven risk assessment and automated policy administration as silver bullets without understanding the real challenges of insurance automation. At PoloWorks, we believe the true value of AI and automation in the London insurance market lies in practical application, measurable improvements, and sustainable efficiency gains.

Overcoming the Challenges of AI and Automation in Insurance

Despite the benefits, adopting insurance automation and AI-powered claims processing comes with challenges:

• Legacy system integration – Many insurers struggle with integrating new AI-driven insurance tools into their existing systems.
• Data accuracy and quality – AI and automation can only be as good as the data quality management frameworks supporting them.
• Compliance and regulatory requirements – The Lloyd’s market demands rigorous adherence to data governance, risk assessment, and audit trails.
