A few key points highlighting the negatives of insurance automation are -
Questions Surrounding Data Privacy
With how heavily the insurance industry relies on customer data, data breaches are a looming concern for both insurers and customers alike. Vulnerability to data breaches and cyberattacks and the ability of AI to store and process large amounts of data make them a primary target for such attacks.

Experts seasoned in insurance law, seizing their global platform at finance and real estate conferences in Dubai, explain the importance of insurance companies taking instant action to strengthen their cybersecurity measures and prioritize data protection.
The Possibility Of Discrimination
Being in the early stages of integration, the blend of AI and the insurance sector is bound to face its fair share of challenges. Amongst these challenges, an issue that will require immediate fixing is the possibility of discriminatory profiling of individuals based on which demographic group they belong to.
AI aims to collect large amounts of data and form patterns to analyze the data collected efficiently. In doing so, the risk of profiling individuals due to a lack of technological development can be detrimental to maintaining customer trust and beaching the lines of morality on the insurers’ part.
Job Losses
Not just limited to the insurance sector, the rapid integration of AI amongst the significant sectors in our economy has raised heated debates among experts, notably at finance and real estate events regarding the increased unemployment rates due to AI.
