AI Solution for Motor MGAs

31/05/2023 | Online Zoom Conferencing

The fraud detection tools in the market typically work by flagging cases as ‘Red’, ‘Amber’ or ‘Green’ – but crucially don’t explain why something may be fraudulent.

The heavy lifting (the bit that requires the time and effort) is presently undertaken solely by experienced fraud handlers who manually review the claims documentation without any assistance.

Clyde and Co are using advanced AI and automation to provide a system that not only automatically reviews and flags the claims as fraudulent, but also analyses the evidence and suggests what parts of a particular case are suspicious and why they might be suspicious.

The tool produces a full report with fraud markers weighed and measured to save handler time and effort – making it truly unique.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this session, delegates will be able to:

  • Describe the benefits of the AI in the use of automation and fraud detection, which includes:
  • Listing suspicious opponents
  • Summarising your risk exposure
  • Explaining effective risk management strategies which could be put in place
