A recent poll by GlobalData indicates that nearly 25% of insurance professionals believe AI is not ready for widespread implementation. Concerns include regulatory lag and liability issues related to AI errors. The poll also revealed that only 5.3% of respondents view consumer understanding as a major challenge, suggesting that consumers are becoming more accustomed to AI. In contrast, the insurance sector is struggling with a lack of expertise, despite a 50.9% increase in AI-related job postings in 2025. Meanwhile, AI is successfully reducing costs in insurance through applications like telematics and voice assistants, which are gaining consumer acceptance.
