Technological advancements and the proliferation of data are altering the ways insurers assess and underwrite risk, creating new types of risk that need to be managed, and in some cases, reducing the incidence of risk events. As the nature of risk evolves, so too must the industry and the regulatory parameters it operates within. What are the implications from a product development and innovation standpoint? Where are there opportunities for growth? What assumptions need to be reevaluated, and what can cultural shifts and market trends tell us about the future of insurance?
