AI insurtech refers to the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and insurance technology (insurtech), where AI-driven tools and platforms are used to modernize traditional insurance processes. This includes underwriting, claims processing, pricing, fraud detection, customer service (chatbots), risk assessment, and more. AI enables insurers to automate, analyze, and personalize in ways that were not possible with legacy systems.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the global artificial intelligence (AI) insurtech market which was USD 3,640 million in 2022, is expected to reach USD 35,770 million by 2030, and is expected to undergo a CAGR of 33.06% during the forecast period of 2023 to 2030.
