The ARIAS-US Education Committee will host a webinar focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and explore its impact on the Insurance and Reinsurance industries. AI offers vast opportunities for insurers and reinsurers in how they run their business and deal with their clients. But, the AI technology also presents enormous challenges for its use from a legal, regulatory and best practices perspective.

From that the panel will explore the legal and regulatory issues that confront the use of the technology. Finally, a diverse panel of professionals will discuss how AI presents thought-provoking issues such as privilege and privacy issues, new areas of potential liability, potential coverage issues and policy considerations, and best practices concerning the use of AI.
This webinar provides opportunities for company representatives, arbitrators, and outside counsel:
- To better understand AI and what it is all about.
- To learn how AI is being used by insurers and reinsurers.
- To be aware of the benefits and pitfalls of using AI.
- To highlight the risks associated with using AI.
