State of AI in Underwriting 2026

Everyone's talking about AI in underwriting. Few can show where it's improving loss ratios, hit rates, or expense ratios.

Join Celent's Karlyn Carnahan and hyperexponential's Jamie Wilson for a live discussion on what's really working in 2026—and what isn't.

What you'll gain from this session

• Clarity on where to invest. See which AI use cases are delivering measurable underwriting outcomes in production and which patterns consistently fail.

• A framework for better decisions. Understand how to sequence AI initiatives, build decision infrastructure that compounds in value, and avoid the PoC trap.

• Practical guidance you can use immediately. Learn what successful carriers do differently in operating model, talent, and architecture so you can apply it to your own underwriting stack.

What you'll learn

1. Where AI is genuinely delivering underwriting impact. See examples live in production: submission ingestion, triage, pricing acceleration, portfolio insight. Plus the conditions that made them work.

2. The patterns behind failed AI experiments. Discover why initiatives stall at pilot stage, how fragmented systems kill ROI, and what underwriters say about AI fatigue and change overload.

3. How to design AI-ready underwriting architecture. How to think about agentic AI, and the operating model shifts needed to turn AI into durable advantage.
