James Benham has been building technology for insurance companies for 25 years — not InsurTech, actual technology. In Episode 150, he makes two arguments the industry needs to hear: first, that shadow AI is a compliance crisis hiding in plain sight at virtually every carrier, TPA, and MGA; and second, that roughly a third of the insurance workforce is performing manual clerical tasks that should be automated — while the industry simultaneously struggles to find enough qualified adjusters and underwriters. The fix to both problems runs through the same place: AI that is embedded, tested, and governed rather than bolted on or used ad hoc.
