In this episode titled "Emerging Tech and Insurance for All: 2027 Vision," we explore how cutting-edge technologies are transforming the global insurance landscape to make coverage more inclusive, affordable, and accessible. As we look toward 2027, innovations like artificial intelligence, generative AI, blockchain, telematics, and IoT are no longer just buzzwords—they are reshaping the way insurers design, price, distribute, and manage risk. AI is enabling smarter underwriting and personalized products, while blockchain is fostering trust through transparency and efficiency, especially in microinsurance. Telematics and IoT are unlocking real-time, usage-based models that reward safe behavior and expand coverage to previously underserved segments. Embedded insurance is gaining traction, integrating protection seamlessly into everyday digital experiences. Meanwhile, government-led digital public infrastructure, such as India Stack, is playing a pivotal role in expanding access and scale. The episode also reflects on the challenges of digital equity, data privacy, and the need for inclusive innovation to ensure that technology doesn’t just disrupt—but democratizes—insurance for all.
