Agentic AI: The intelligence architecture that will redefine insurance
Bill Pieroni, Global Strategy and Growth Leader, Insurance Software & BPS, DXC Technology
The insurance industry is undergoing a once-in-a-generation transformation driven by agentic AI—intelligent systems capable of adaptive, self-directed decision-making across the value chain. As early adopters accelerate past lagging incumbents, the gap between capability maturity levels grows into a structural divide, reshaping cost models, customer experiences and competitive dynamics. This session will showcase practical, high-impact examples of AI in underwriting, claims and benefits, and outline what it takes to transition from automation to orchestration. The presentation addresses strategic imperatives and real-world execution paths through the lens of 5 key questions:

  • What is agentic AI, and how does it differ from conventional automation or machine learning approaches?
  • In what ways can agentic AI reinvent core insurance capabilities?
  • What are the risks of failing to fully leverage agentic AI?
  • How does agentic AI enable structural cost reduction, improved margins and scalable growth?
  • What technology, talent and governance elements are essential to successful AI transformation?
