Claim the future

Norwegian insurance company Gjensidige are now implementing AI-agent Eva to handle claims from clients directly. They are aiming for Eva to handle up to 70 percent of claims from individual customers in the future.

Professor Zaki takes us through the stages where we had machines that could do numbers and mathematical tasks faster than humans, via robots designed to undertake specific tasks, to language models that predict human speech and build a conversational dialogue. The advent of AI-agents are only the latest stage in a development going on for decades.
