What to look forward to
Insurance leaders and regulators will dive into how AI is reshaping underwriting, claims, and risk management in Connecticut's dominant insurance sector, with panelists including the state's Insurance Commissioner and Chief Innovation Officers from major carriers unpacking the real tension between innovation and oversight. Expect straight talk on where regulation is actually heading and how the industry is navigating this shift in real time.
