Impact of AI in Insurance Industry | Mr. Umang Kalra | The Buzz Bite

Artificial Intelligence is changing almost every industry, and insurance is no exception. From policy comparison and customer support to claim assistance and document analysis, AI is becoming a powerful tool in the insurance world. But can AI truly replace human judgment when it comes to choosing the right insurance policy? In this episode of The Buzz Bite, we speak with Mr. Umang Kalra from Policy Ghar about the impact of AI in the insurance industry and how technology is influencing the way people research, compare, buy, and understand insurance policies.

Umang explains that AI can help customers simplify complex insurance information, compare policies, understand basic terms, and conduct initial research. However, insurance decisions still require human consultation because every customer has different needs, income, family responsibilities, health history, business risks, and long-term goals. Relying purely on algorithms can lead to oversights regarding waiting periods, delivery limits, or pre-existing condition disclosures.

Ultimately, technology should act as an aid to decision-making rather than a complete replacement for human advisory. Claims processing, policy fine print verification, and customized coverage configuration require empathy and experience. By using AI responsibly as a research tool but finalizing choices with a certified expert, insurance buyers can achieve the highest level of coverage security.
