Background of the Study
Risk assessment is a critical component of the insurance industry, determining the pricing of premiums, underwriting decisions, and the overall sustainability of insurance firms. Traditionally, risk assessment has relied on historical data, manual processes, and human expertise. However, these methods often face limitations in accuracy, efficiency, and scalability, especially as data sources expand and risks become more complex.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized risk assessment in the insurance sector by enabling the analysis of large datasets with speed and precision. AI-driven tools use predictive analytics, machine learning algorithms, and real-time data integration to assess risks more effectively, identify fraudulent claims, and personalize insurance products. For example, AI systems can analyze customer behavior, financial histories, and external data sources such as social media to refine risk profiles and improve decision-making processes.
Leadway Assurance, a prominent insurance firm in Abuja, faces the challenge of optimizing its risk assessment processes to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving industry. By integrating AI into its operations, the firm can enhance its ability to identify risks accurately, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce operational costs. This study investigates the impact of AI on risk assessment at Leadway Assurance, offering insights into its potential to transform Nigeria’s insurance industry.
