Modern medical equipment and technology has helped people to live longer lives, yet the inevitable occurs. People get sick, hurt and even worse. To hedge against the unpredictable nature, people tend to look towards insurance. These intangible products have become an important part of today’s routine.

The Impersonal Factor

As insurance is primarily a financial product, institutes offering these services rely on the ability to have premiums being paid more than they pay out claims. On the other hand, there are situations where people try to take advantage of the payout and make fraudulent claims in hopes of roping in money. This has led to the insurance companies developing a very impersonal attitude. The cold-hearted way they deal with claims has become a necessity. Insurance companies are notorious for the way they deal with their customers.

Another factor in the way these companies have developed a reputation is that in their efforts to standardize operational and claim procedures, a bureaucratic red tape process now exists. Handling so many people with issues ranging from changes in their premiums to claims is not possible manually. To bring efficiency in their systems, many insurance companies have automated their systems. This means involvement of technologies such as automated answering systems, chatbots and other claim systems. 

All of these steps mean lesser use of humans and higher dependency on computer systems. These machines have no heart and work under predetermined instructions.

Boost.ai: Adding the Human Fact
