Evaluate emerging risks and new technologies

Enhances◐ 1–3 years

What You Do Today

You assess risks from new construction materials, manufacturing processes, energy storage systems, and other emerging exposures that don't fit traditional underwriting models.

AI That Applies

AI scans technical literature, incident databases, and regulatory changes to surface emerging risk information and comparable loss scenarios for new technologies.

Technologies

How It Works

The system ingests technical literature as its primary data source. NLP models process the text input by identifying entities, classifying intent, and extracting the structured information needed for downstream decisions. The output — emerging risk information and comparable loss scenarios for new technologies — surfaces in the existing workflow where the practitioner can review and act on it.

What Changes

You stay current on emerging risks faster when AI surfaces relevant research and incidents rather than relying on conference attendance and manual reading.

What Stays

Evaluating whether a new technology is actually safe enough to insure requires engineering expertise that no model can replicate.

What To Do Next

This section won't tell you what your numbers should be. It will show you how to find them yourself. Every instruction below produces a real, verifiable result in your organization. No benchmarks, no projections — just the steps to build your own evidence.

1

Establish Your Baseline

Know where you are before you move

Before adopting AI tools for evaluate emerging risks and new technologies, understand your current state.

Map your current process: Document how evaluate emerging risks and new technologies works today — who does what, how long it takes, where the bottlenecks are. You need this baseline to measure improvement.
Identify the judgment points: Evaluating whether a new technology is actually safe enough to insure requires engineering expertise that no model can replicate. These are the boundaries AI won't cross.
Assess your data readiness: AI tools for this area need data to work. Check whether your organization has the historical data, integrations, and data quality to support Text Mining tools.

Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.

Define Your Measures

What to track and how to calculate it

Time per cycle

How to calculate

Measure how long evaluate emerging risks and new technologies takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.

Why it matters

The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.

Quality of output

How to calculate

Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.

Why it matters

Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.

When to check: Check after 30 days of consistent use, then quarterly.
The commitment: Give new tools at least 30 days before judging. The first week is always awkward.
What NOT to measure: Don't measure AI adoption rate as a KPI. Adoption follows value — if the tool helps, people use it.
