Data, Underwriting, and Pricing in the Insurance Industry

Today’s guest on the ‘AI in Business’ podcast is Haden Kirkpatrick, Vice President of Innovation and Venture Capital at State Farm. Haden began his position at State Farm in February 2021 and has spent much of the last decade in the insurance industry after starting his career at T-Mobile. He joins us on today’s show to talk about challenges facing the insurance industry – from the deluge of data coming from the Internet of Things and emerging generative AI tools. Throughout the episode, Haden pulls apart how these challenges look to an executive coming from a telecom background and how insurance leaders can leverage data tools to help solve them.
