The evolution of artificial intelligence, remote sensing technologies, and big-data analytics is rapidly transforming property underwriting. While these tools offer unprecedented capabilities, richer exposure data, enhanced pricing accuracy, improved risk selection, and real-time catastrophe insights, they also introduce new complexities.
Underwriters must navigate challenges such as data quality gaps, model bias, variable market contexts, and emerging regulatory expectations around algorithmic decision-making. This panel explores the nuanced balance between human expertise and advanced analytics, highlighting practical applications, pitfalls, and future implications for property underwriting across emerging and mature markets.
The discussion will offer strategic, technical, and regulatory perspectives to help practitioners harness data-driven tools without losing sight of sound underwriting judgement.
The webinar will take place on the 15 April 2026 at 10:00 - 11:30 offering 2 CPD hours
