How the insurance industry delivers service has evolved significantly in the last decade.

Regardless of what form of insurance sales or policy management your organization is engaged in, you can attest that face-to-face interactions are no longer routine and are, in fact, an oddity.

As the insurance industry’s new normal, more and more interactions between customers, industry experts, other organizations, and adjustments claims occur digitally. Though phone-based communications will continue to be a part of the customer service process for the foreseeable future, customers, care providers, other insurers, and virtually anyone else with whom an insurance company interacts have come to expect a largely digitized experience.

For any organization to thrive in the insurance industry of tomorrow, it must take steps to evolve its processes today. That means creating a cohesive modernization strategy and investing in leading-edge technology solutions.

Top Challenges Facing the Insurance Industry

To understand what a modernized strategy looks like in the insurance industry, it’s vital to examine some of the top challenges businesses will face in the coming years.

1. Staffing Shortages

Historically, the insurance sector has contended with turnover rates somewhere in the range of 8-9%, according to Insurance Business America, but that span climbed to 12-15% by September 2022.

That additional turnover significantly impacts business continuity and diminishes the customer experience. It can also negatively influence insurers’ ability to replace members of leadership that are retiring or stepping away from the industry.

2. Skyrocketing Costs

Inflation and numerous other factors have contributed to rising costs of everything from healthcare to vehicles higher than ever before. Naturally, some of these cost increases are passed onto insurers and their customers, so insurance companies must find ways to absorb some of these expenses while mitigating rate increases for their clients.

Insurers should also explore ways to reduce their operating costs to keep coverage prices lower. Otherwise, businesses may find it challenging to retain customer accounts, particularly in sectors like automotive insurance, where consumers can freely shop around and change policies in six-month intervals.

3. Antiquated Legacy Systems

Some legacy systems hinder the ability of many businesses to embrace digital transformation. These aging platforms can make it challenging to comply with relevant regulatory requirements and increase an organization’s overall operating costs.

The longer that insurance companies cling to antiquated systems, the harder it will be for them to streamline traditionally tedious practices, such as claim management. Therefore, insurance companies must replace these inefficient, disjointed platforms with modern, unified alternatives.

The Role of Digital Transformation in Solving These Challenges

Digital transformation can bring modern technologies to any business process to improve its operation. Fast-growing digital transformation technologies include machine learning, artificial intelligence (like ChatGPT), customer relationship management platforms, and intelligent document processing software.

Digital transformation holds the key to solving the insurance industry’s most significant problems, and it appears that many in the industry realize this, as recent projections estimate that insurance technology spending will increase by 25% between 2022 and 2026 in the US and UK.

A cohesive digital transformation strategy will lay out a roadmap for replacing aging technologies with modern alternatives, and once these technologies have been replaced, the cost savings are almost immediate.

In one example of how a digital transformation strategy led to practical innovation, Fingent joined forces with the California law firm of Sapra & Navarra, LLP to develop Ambit, an AI and ML program that simplifies and enhances the management of workers’ compensation claims. Claims may include hundreds of pages consisting of a variety of letters, affidavits, forms, and other documents from claimants, doctors, lawyers, investigators, employers, and witnesses, among others. Utilizing both artificial intelligence and machine learning, the Ambit system streamlines the claims management process, reducing claim costs, and helps break the old practices of:

  • Taking too long to assess claims
  • Treating similar claims inconsistently
  • Not equipping claim adjusters with modern tools

Instead, Ambit improves the efficiency of all parties — insurance carriers, self-insured companies, lawyers, and claim adjusters — while reducing costs for insurers by 57%.

The Ambit solution was designed to:

  • Easily ingest the many documents in the claims process
  • Quickly identify missing, processed & corrupted pages
  • Review structured and unstructured documents automatically
  • Identify areas of concern
  • Suggest potential legal defenses
  • Automate calculations and reminders for important legal deadlines
  • Generate case summaries, with action plans

These automation capabilities not only make life easier for claims managers but enable organizational leaders to offset productivity issues created by ongoing labor shortages by reducing onboarding time for new hires. These capabilities result in more uniform handling of the claims while speeding their resolution and lowering their overall costs.

Ambit

In general, automation technologies, such as those implemented during a digital transformation initiative, will also decrease operating costs, enabling insurance companies to increase their profitability and offer their customers more competitive premiums.

The Essential Components of Digital Transformation

The technology trend in insurance is clearly moving from the strictly paper-based methods of the past to the digital. Beyond static websites to mobile apps. Beyond email to text and chat. Beyond processes driven by people to more and more intelligent automation that speeds up and uniformly handles all kinds of processes from marketing, and operations, to customer service.

Every organization’s digital transformation roadmap should be as unique as the business itself, but every digital transformation strategy must include a few core elements:

  • Clear objectives
  • An integrated plan
  • A leadership-driven approach
  • Investments in the right technology

When creating your organization’s digital transformation strategy, you should start by defining your “why.” In other words, you must identify the reasons you are undertaking this initiative in the first place.

From there, work with a digital transformation partner who can help you create an integrated plan that includes everyone from executive members to line-level employees.

Digital transformation efforts — even small ones — require the active support of top management. Change is the hardest thing to achieve in the organization and without the sponsorship of the corporate leaders, the effort is unlikely to succeed.

Finally, you will need to replace outdated, inefficient technology with modern, robust solutions. When appropriate,

partner with a custom software development firm that can provide you with a purpose-built solution you need for your business. They are equipped with the personnel and experience to generate a solution in the minimum timeframe and without the need to increase in-house headcounts.

If your organization has been exploring ways to improve the customer service experience, increase productivity, improve profitability, and streamline its operations, it is more than ready to embrace digital transformation.

Successfully facilitating digital transformation requires a cohesive strategy, some cutting-edge technologies, a commitment to doing things better, and the right development approach.

      No longer the stuff of science fiction, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are revolutionizing the way customers interact with brands. Businesses that have embraced these technologies can reshape the customer experience, curate one-of-a-kind buyer journeys, and strengthen bonds with their target audiences.

      As your organization works to remain competitive in the modern business ecosystem, it must tap into the power of AI and ML technologies to provide a superior customer experience.

      How Are AI and ML Enhancing Customer Experience?

      Artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions can profoundly impact every facet of the customer experience. By leveraging these technologies, your business can:

      1. Facilitate Hyper-Personalization

      Customers who interact with your brand are looking for a personalized experience. As such, brands that put their products and services at the center of attention instead of prioritizing experience will miss the mark. Likewise, blasting your customers with generic advertising content or sending them broad, basic messages simply won’t cut it anymore. Instead, you must personalize every interaction to deliver timely and relevant content to each user.

      Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies facilitate a level of hyper-personalization that was thought to be unachievable just a few years ago. In a 2022 Salesforce survey, 88% of consumers reported that an experience provided by a company is almost as important as the product. Using AI and ML technologies, you can personalize customer experiences by utilizing real-time data, like their browsing history, purchasing habits, etc.

      Artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions can also eliminate friction from the customer journey. For instance, AI- and ML-powered chatbots can leverage information from past interactions to create personalized messages for each consumer. This will minimize customer frustration by reducing how often consumers are asked to repeat information they have previously provided.

      2. Allow Customers to Stay Connected 24/7

      Customers expect access to timely and relevant support around the clock. However, staffing your customer support department 24/7 is financially infeasible. So how do you bridge the gap between customer expectations and the fiscal limitations of your business? AI and ML solutions are the clear answer.

      With artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, you can provide your customers with access to automated support like chatbots. These bots can respond immediately to customers and resolve many basic product- or service-related issues without tying up your customer support staff. This capability will not only allow you to reduce the workload on your team but also help you provide more timely and omnichannel service to customers, no matter when they reach out for assistance.

      3. Conduct Predictive Behavior Analyses

      The sooner you can identify consumer behavior trends, the better your chances of capitalizing on emerging opportunities. Unfortunately, traditional analytics solutions do not facilitate real-time decision-making because they often rely on data that is days (or even weeks) old.

      The good news is that artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies enable you to conduct predictive behavioral analyses using real-time data, guiding your decision-making processes and enabling you to adapt to emerging trends like never before.

      4. Enhance Your Understanding of Target Audiences

      Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies allow you to step into your target audience’s mind. You can use these newfound insights to guide your digital marketing strategies, refine products and services, and enhance the customer experience.

      Due to how AI and ML learn and evolve, these technologies will only become more effective over time as they get access to more data, better helping you anticipate how your target audiences are likely to behave in the future. This enables you to proactively eliminate friction points from the buyer’s journey and paves the way for increased sales and better profitability.

These industries (and every other on this list) utilize AI and ML technologies to enhance the customer experience.

      These technologies also provide meaningful insights into the efficiency of business operations. Organizational leaders can use the information gleaned from these technologies to proactively address critical organizational growth hurdles and promote business continuity.

      How Your Business Can Optimize Customer Experience with AI and ML

      Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies will empower your business to revolutionize the customer experience along every meaningful touchpoint. First and foremost, these technologies will help your business truly understand the customer journey and its impact on organizational profitability. And once you understand the state of your business and how well it is currently managing the customer experience, you can begin using your AI and ML tools to refine the customer experience.

      If you want to maximize your return on investment, consider incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies into as many business processes as possible.

          Artificial Intelligence-Based Code Generation Tools 

          Let’s take a look at code-generation tools that are based on AI technologies. This article will discuss three such tools – Codex, Co-pilot, and ChatGPT.

          1. Codex

          As announced by the Artificial Intelligence Research Company OpenAI, the Codex model series is a successor of the GPT-3 series and is trained with both natural language and billions of lines of code. It is most competent in Python and is proficient in many more languages, including C#, JavaScript, Ruby, Swift, TypeScript, SQL, and even Shell.

          Due to its understanding of many languages, Codex can transcribe simple commands in natural language and execute them according to the user’s preference. This makes building a natural language interface into existing applications possible. It also helps speed up the work of professional programmers and helps amateurs get started with coding.

          2. Copilot 

          GitHub Copilot, fabricated by GitHub and OpenAI, is a cloud-based AI tool that assists users of Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Neovim, and JetBrains integrated development environments (IDEs) with auto-completing code.

          GitHub Copilot is trained on billions of lines of code and uses this knowledge to turn natural language prompts into deft coding suggestions. It is famous for evaluating and suggesting improvements for social media profiles, facilitating online presence across various digital channels.

          Copilot uses AI technology to engage with potential leads through messages and categorizes them based on responses. It is trending with a whopping 4.67-star rating and is widely praised for its enormous support.

          3. ChatGPT

          OpenAI released yet another ingenious model called ChatGPT. It is a long-form question-answering AI that addresses complex questions conversationally. This is a revolutionary technology because it not only understands human language but is also trained to learn what humans mean when they ask a question.

          The New York Times headlined, “ChatGPT and other chatbots is a ‘code red’ for Google search engine.”

          While The Indian Express, in an article, stated that “When it was introduced, ChatGPT’s ability to break down complex problems and explain everything in a human-like manner led many to proclaim that Google’s days as the numero uno search engine are numbered.”

          ChatGPT is undeniably a hot topic, and its reasons stand strong. Its dialogue format makes it possible to provide answers to any follow-up questions, accept its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.

          Its specifically trained ability to understand the human intent behind every question and provide helpful, harmless answers while discarding parts of the question that do not make sense only adds to its special nature.

          Benefits Of These AI Tools

          1. Codex –

          “You just ask the computer to do something, and it just does it,” said OpenAI CTO Greg Brockman in the video demo of Codex.

          Codex is good at co-referencing resolutions. It also links nouns in the prompt/input to their proper variables and functions in the code. Codex can also execute mundane tasks, like rendering web pages, launching web servers, and sending emails.

          As AI technology takes over all the tedious parts, the programming process is prone to become more efficient. OpenAI shows Codex has a 37% accuracy rate in effectuating coding tasks.

          2. Copilot –

          A new study by GitHub revealed that Copilot works as an AI code programming assistant, significantly increasing developer productivity and happiness.

          This particular AI-based code generation tool stands out because of its simplicity. You can describe the task you desire, outcome, or suggestion in the comments, and Copilot can come up with what it thinks are the proper lines of code. On the other hand, you can infer just your intentions with an incomplete prompt, and Co-pilot will do the code generation according to the same prompts.

          3. ChatGPT –

          Firstly, it reflects its efficiency by handling large volumes of conversation without needing breaks, which is undoubtedly helpful for customer service or other applications with a high demand for conversation. It also personalizes these conversations allowing them to feel unique for different users.

          Using ChatGPT is highly cost-effective because it eradicates the need to hire human employees to handle conversation tasks. It is also available 24 hours a day throughout the week and has a great language support system.

          How It Enables Reduced Costs 

          Embracing Artificial Intelligence is a deft, cost-effective decision that most businesses and industries need to make. AI helps companies progress on many fronts, but the most imperative is its impact on the company’s pocket.

          Implementing AI-based code generation tools such as Codex, Copilot, and ChatGPT reduces the need to hire miscellaneous employees to perform repetitive, tedious tasks. This, in turn, reduces the chances of any mishaps that may cost the company money to fix. Using these tools as assistants also greatly helps employees with their workload.

          Using a more personalized, accurate, and compactable AI technology in your business can attract many potential clients and customers. This ultimately creates a profit for your business while also helping you establish your roots in the industry.

          35% of consumers feel the desire to see more companies using chatbots. This is the perfect time to build the software you “ever needed” at a reduced cost.

          Myths Around The Use Of AI Tools 

          The long-standing fear of technology taking over mankind has always had its chokehold on innovation. It is time to debunk the myths that surround AI and let technology progress.

          Myth #1 – AI Is Going To Take Over Every Job Sector

          One thing to remember is that no matter what, Artificial Intelligence tools will not replace the developers but increase developer productivity. It is reasonable to believe that AI has the potential to disrupt labor, but to compare labor from humans to machines directly is an unnecessary simplification. AI tools exist solely to enable humans to work in a newer and smarter way.

          Myth #2 – AI Is Magic

          The idea that AI tools can magically make sense of any and all of your messy data is completely erroneous. AI does not work on the principle of “load and go,” and the quality of input data is more important than the AI algorithm. This implies that the data being prompted has to be relevant to the problem being solved and specific to a set of use cases and a domain of knowledge.

          What The Future Holds For The Industry With AI Tools

          AI has consistently altered the course of the world multiple times and will continue to do so in the future. Although it is not a mainstream technology, billions of dollars are spent annually on AI research and development.

          Did You Know?

          As of the latest 2022 data, the global AI market is worth $136.6 billion. By 2030, the global AI market is expected to reach $1.81 trillion.

          Some other industries that are largely affected by AI tools include –

          • Software Development Companies
          • Information Technology
          • Finance
          • Manufacturing
          • Customer Service
          • Education

              How Can You Identify AI Capabilities For Your Company?

              No business can afford to sit back and ignore the capabilities of AI-powered mobile apps. However, rushing to adopt AI without thinking it through can be damaging. To fully realize its capabilities, you must approach it with a clear business goal. This means you must narrow it down to your business’s most valuable AI capabilities. How can you do that? Keep in mind these two fundamental steps:

              • Identify potential use cases of AI-powered applications in your business
              • Sort those potential use cases into just a few top priorities.

In addition, organizations can overcome challenges and risks that arise due to miscommunication or poor performance metrics. Thus, businesses can streamline their operations and improve decision-making which could be translated into better ROI.

                  2. Increased scalability with minimum expense

                  Semi-supervised machine learning algorithms can help organizations leverage useful insights from customer profiles and enable them to view their brands from customers’ perspectives. Doing so will equip organizations with relevant insights to build their brand by improving their products and services.

                  3. Predictive maintenance

                  Predictive maintenance that ML aids manufacturing firms’ power to follow best practices that lead to efficient and cost-effective operations. The historical and real-time data predict problems and stipulate strategies to solve those problems. Plus, workflow visualization tools can eliminate issues and unwanted expenses incurred due to those issues.

                  4. Financial analysis

                    Talk To Our Experts

                      From the mundane to breathtaking, AI is disrupting virtually every business process in all sectors. People are ceasing to associate Artificial Intelligence with science-fiction dystopias as Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking more commonplace in our daily lives.  While such acceptance in mainstream society is a new phenomenon, it is not a new concept in business. Today, AI has become imperative to maintain a competitive edge.

                      This guide will help business owners who are serious about maintaining a competitive edge in their business sector by adopting AI.

                      Rising Need for Adopting AI In Business

                      Did you know that 52% of companies accelerated their AI adoption plans after the pandemic? Why?

                      Artificial Intelligence in business is seen as a supporting tool. It is adept at processing and analyzing a trove of data much faster and more efficiently than a human brain can. Since AI can synthesize courses of action and present them to the human user, businesses can use AI to help investigate the probable consequences of each action. That way, businesses can streamline the decision-making process. This is what makes AI valuable throughout many industries.

                      Artificial Intelligence is a form of software that can make decisions independently. It can act even in situations not foreseen by programmers. AI has a wider latitude of decision-making capabilities than traditional software – whether it is simply helping visitors or performing a task as complex as monitoring a wind turbine to predict its maintenance.

                      Conversational AI

                      How To Identify If Your Business Needs AI?

                      AI software and tools can make business processes much simpler and more effective. Besides, implementing AI in business ensures cybersecurity defense, powers customer service, and more. But how do you know when you must adopt AI in business? Here are a few scenarios:

                      Scenario 1: Do you need to enhance your customer experience? 

                      Are you struggling to provide your consumers with quick, easy, and personalized solutions? AI-powered digital assistants can help your business resolve customer queries by imitating human conversation. Chatbots are among the most promising trends in customer engagement and customer experience. Perhaps most business owners realize how imperative this AI technology is to their business. Perhaps that is why the chatbot market is set to reach 1.25 billion USD by 2025.

                      Scenario 2: You know the value of sentimental analysis but do not know how to leverage it.

                      Businesses use sentimental analysis to monitor and analyze customers’ opinions and emotions from various texts on a website, social media, and product or service comments. Skimming through large amounts of data to churn out customers’ sentiments can be daunting. All thanks to AI-assisted sentiment analysis, you can now quickly understand how your customers feel about your services or products.

                      Scenario 3: Your business has suffered due to inaccurate forecasting.

                      Accurate sales forecasting helps businesses predict future sales for long-term business growth. It can also enable the detection of potential problems to avoid them. Implementing AI-based CRM software can help detect how each data element relates to sales performance.

                      Scenario 4: You have a great online presence but an awful in-store experience.

                      If that describes your business, it is time to adopt AI to provide the next level of a personalized in-store experience. AI can enable instant access to products or services and contribute to smarter buying decisions.

                      A Quick Guide to Implementing AI For Your Business

                      AI applications can be used in many ways depending on organizational needs and the business intelligence (BI) insights derived from the data collected. Here are some tips to explain the steps businesses can take to ensure their implementation is a success:

                      1. Know your options.

                      Find out your options and what AI can and cannot do. This will help you decide if you want to add specific AI technology or change the entire app.

                      2. What is your business goal?

                      Working on an ‘end-first’ process will help refine the list to select specific features or capabilities that best suit your business goals.

                      3. Find out how AI can benefit the end-users

                      This is crucial as it gives you the two main objectives for a successful implementation. Then, choose the software and hardware you need to make this process a reality.

                      4. Evaluate your internal capabilities

                      You need to consider if you have enough skilled employees in-house who can manage the process and if you have the budget to outsource it.

                      5. Choose between building or integrating the system

                      Remember building an AI system from scratch can take several months. On the other hand, if you choose to use a premade system, your AI partner will help install the software app, train your staff, and fulfill your business needs.

                      6. Test system

                      Testing the system for a predetermined time will help you understand if the clients are more satisfied, and if the employees work more efficiently.

                      7. Choose the right partner 

                      A good AI partner will be clear about the offer, value, and terms of cooperation.

                      8. Make refinements

                      After you gather a reasonable amount of data evidencing the success of an AI solution, you can start making refinement changes to the solution.

                          1. Simplifying Workflows with Cloud

                          Workflow management is a highly overlooked enterprise strategy that directly impacts productivity. Managing different stakeholders, heaps of confidential data, and a series of preset and conditional tasks manually can lead to several errors such as employees missing key steps, policy violations, compliance issues, and monetary losses. By taking your workflows online, cloud-based workflow management applications increase your productivity. 

                          Cloud-powered workflows or workflow management tools:

                          • Are scalable, centralized, customizable to your needs, easy to integrate, secure, reliable, and hassle-free. 
                          • Offer a seamless and unified collaboration interface by preventing users from toggling between different messaging apps or communication channels.
                          • Reduce your dependency on in-house IT team by passing on the software maintenance responsibilities to the third-party software vendor
                          • Can be accessed via any authorized network (with approved access credentials), on any device, from anywhere, 24/7. This has been a huge game-changer for several companies that switched to remote operations during the pandemic. 

                          Example of a Cloud-based Workflow Tool

                          Finding a cloud workflow management tool that can be customized to your company’s requirements is daunting. The platform should integrate well with your organizational processes without disrupting your existing workflow. This is where digital workplace applications like InfinCE make the difference. 

                          InfinCE

                          With InfinCE Digital Workplace, Fingent has improved its productivity by 20% through real-time, effective, and easy collaboration.

                          2. Low-code Applications

                          Gartner estimates that by 2025, 70% of enterprise applications will use low-code or no-code technologies. Digital business transformation requires pushing custom software solutions to the market at lightning speed. This demand has given rise to low-code applications that will break the technological and organizational silos of application development, automation, integration, and governance. Low-code development enables business users to bring innovative ideas to life by just dragging and dropping low-code elements through a graphical user interface. 

                          In simple words, low-code development enables “citizen” developers or non-tech users (such as business analysts or marketers) to build dashboards and survey or contact forms faster. Professional developers, on the other hand, can leverage low-code techniques to perform more efficient tasks such as legacy application modernization or back-end integrations with improved agility and velocity.

                          Use Cases for Low-code Applications

                          • Customer engagement applications and portals
                          • Mission-critical applications such as ERP software, payments manager, etc.
                          • Data analysis applications, BI dashboards, and data management software
                          • Mobile apps for customer engagement
                          • Order processing, inventory, order fulfillment, supply chain, and accounting apps

                          Salesforce Lightning, Microsoft Power Apps, and Zoho Creator are some of the leading low-code applications today. SAP users can leverage the unified low-code/no-code (LCNC) solutions on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) to rapidly build and extend applications, and automate tasks and processes.

                          3. Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

                          Robotic Process Automation (RPA), often referred to as software robotics, is an easy-to-use software technology that allows anyone to automate digital tasks within their business processes. RPA allows users to create software robots or “bots” that can learn, emulate, and then execute rules-based business processes. According to Forrester Research, RPA software revenue is expected to reach $6.5 billion by 2025, while RPA-related services revenue could hit $16 billion in the same year. 

                          Potential Use Cases for RPA 

                          We offer free proof of concepts to help you understand how RPA can improve your business efficiency and customer experience. Some of our top use cases include:

                          • Automating discharge protocols and data management to increase HR productivity in healthcare.
                          • Daily retail process automation such as order processing, inventory and warehouse management, etc. to save time and resources.
                          • Reducing customer wait times through RPA-enabled chatbots that answer customer queries in real-time. 
                          • Error-free, automated billing and invoices to keep your financial systems and reports up-to-date.
                          • HR teams can automate the maintenance of personnel data and records, streamline onboarding, and manage payroll seamlessly.

                          4. Document Data Extraction

                          Extracting quality data out of unstructured or poorly structured data sources and documents for further processing, migration, and storing has been a biggest obstacle in automating back office operations. If you are entering structured invoices to a robust ERP tool like SAP, your payments can be automated and system records can be generated automatically. Due to the high costs of data extraction, several businesses extract only critical information fields, for example, the payment field within an invoice. Businesses are compelled to manually extract data from other important fields, such as validating the invoice’s compliance with VAT.

                              Better businesses need better cyber security.
                              Regrettably, threats to cyber security have become the new norm across public and private sectors. The pandemic affected all types of businesses. If anything, uncertainties around remote working amplified cybercrime. As a result, cyber security’s importance has become more clear now than ever before.
                              As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, businesses will have to stay one step ahead. Security professionals need strong support from advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) to protect their companies from cyber threats.
                              AI can enable security teams to handle greater and more complex threats than ever before. More specifically, it has proven to identify and prioritize threats. In some cases, AI has even taken automated action to quickly remediate security issues. This article considers how AI can redefine the cyber security needs of an organization.
                              Before we discuss further, let’s find out the impact cyberattacks can have on businesses.

                              How Cyberattacks Affect a Company’s Performance and Value 

                              Protecting a company against cyber threats is costly. It can impact the relationship between your company and your customers.
                              Unfortunately, cyber threats are never static. Millions are created each year and are becoming more and more potent.
                              In a survey conducted by Hiscox-Cyber Readiness Report, 28% of the businesses that suffered attacks were targeted on more than five occasions in 2020. Companies have lost millions to such cyber security breaches. Companies like financial services, technology, and energy were hit the hardest.
                              That is not all. Cyber security breaches have caused several other damages including:

                              • Outlays such as insurance premiums and public relations support.
                              • Operational disruption.
                              • Altered business practices.
                              • Business’s standing and customer trust.
                              • Stolen intellectual property including product designs, technologies, and go-to-market strategies.
                              • Legal consequences.

                              How AI Contributes to Cyber Security 

                              Cyber threats are real and certainly worrisome to businesses. It is important to protect critical digital assets.
                              However, it takes planning and commitment of resources. With good security operations, you can stay on top of most of the most serious cyber threats. True, there may be smart thieves, but Artificial Intelligence can provide smarter security.
                              Here are 5 specific ways AI can contribute to cyber security:

                              1. Robust Zero-Day Malware Detection

                              Malware is unpredictable. And signature-based tools will not detect attacks that have never occurred before. Given that, is it possible to defend against something unpredictable? Yes!
                              AI is cable of grasping all the possibilities and finding relationships that traditional security tools would miss. While traditional security strategies have their place in cyber security, they are insufficient to detect and prevent zero-day attacks.
                              Zero-day attacks are best detected by automatically identifying aberrant behavior and alerting administrators immediately. AI can enable organizations to be more proactive and predictive with their security strategies.
                              Artificial Intelligence provides visibility and security for an organization’s entire data flow. AI helps organizations gain such visibility by dismantling each incoming file to search for any malicious elements. Simultaneously, it also looks at the user and network behavior and anomalies from expected activities.
                              Together with ML, AI adapts its behavior to new network conditions, constantly adapting to evolving security conditions. Even those hackers who use modern ML penetration methods cannot be fool AI-enabled cyber security.
                              We cannot stop security breaches from happening. But Artificial Intelligence helps organizations avoid potential disruptions before attackers wreak havoc.

                              2. AI Can Safeguard Large Amounts of Data

                              Whether a company is small or mid-sized, there is a lot of data exchanged between customers and the company every day. This information must be safeguarded from potential cyber threats. Cyber security experts cannot always inspect all the data for potential threats.
                              AI is the best option to detect threats to routine activities. Because of its automated nature, AI can sift through large amounts of data in real-time and identify any hazards lurking amid the chaos.

                              3. AI Takes Care of Redundant Cyber Security Operations

                              Hackers constantly modify their methods but the fundamental security practices do not change. Plus, they may weary your cyber security worker.
                              Artificial Intelligence takes care of redundant cyber security operations while imitating the best of human traits. It also does a thorough analysis of the network to locate security flaws that may harm your network.

                              4. AI can boost response time 

                              Ideal security is the one that can detect security threats in real-time. The principle of ‘a stitch in time saves nine’ applies here.
                              Integrating AI with cyber security measures is a sure way to detect and respond to attacks immediately. Unlike humans, AI does not miss a spot when examining your system for risks. Besides, it can detect risks early, thereby boosting response time.

                              5. Authenticity Protection

                              Most websites allow users to log in and access services or make purchases. You will need greater protection as such a site contains private information and sensitive material. To maintain customer trust, it is important to ensure all data about your guests remains safe while accessing your site.
                              Artificial Intelligence can provide an enhanced security layer. AI can secure authentication when a user wishes to connect their account. Login measures like CAPTCHA, fingerprint, and facial recognition are used to determine if the attempt is legitimate or not.

                                  AI is not just a technology; it has become part of daily lives. Thanks to AI, we witness new kinds of development in each sphere of life every day. We can access many points with AI now more than we could ever before. From the research that we do on the internet to the goods that come to our doors, AI is directing our lives and business. It has solved many problems faced by humanity. And, revolutionized technology in all industries.
                                  Coined at Dartmouth College in 1956, Artificial Intelligence (AI) gave succeeding generations a potential for information technology that can benefit humans in a profound way. Apart from bringing efficiencies, AI is also bringing new possibilities. These possibilities continue to create new models and opportunities for businesses that tap into them. Quantum and neuromorphic computing is the way forward.
                                  This blog takes a deeper look into quantum and neuromorphic computing and explores which companies can benefit from these technologies.

                                  A Look at The Future Of AI

                                  The possibilities Artificial Intelligence can create are seemingly endless. Innovations are constantly taking place in the AI world. Given that, many business and information technology leaders are looking to better understand how it will affect their business now and in the future.
                                  Taking a look at the future scenarios for how AI could evolve can help IT leaders demystify this emerging technology.  Two such technologies are called neuromorphic or quantum computing. They offer us a new way forward by fulfilling our AI-related dreams. The quantum computing market alone is expected to reach $2.2 billion by 2026, so it’s definitely worth looking into.
                                  The future of AI also depends on improving the capacity of intelligent systems by using powerful hardware. Hardware such as neuromorphic computing and quantum computing will allow companies to build AI solutions that are extremely fast and can encapsulate more data and knowledge.
                                  For example, a virtual assistant may now have the computing capacity to handle one or two products. But with more powerful hardware, it could cover more products. Advantages in this area are ongoing.
                                  Let’s examine these in detail.

                                  A Deeper Look into Quantum and Neuromorphic Computing 

                                  Neuromorphic computation and quantum computing always seemed that they were years away. The fact is commercial neuromorphic chips and quantum computers are in use today. These two new technologies are going to change what looked like a straight path to Artificial Intelligence.

                                  1. Neuromorphic computation

                                  Neuromorphic computation attempts to imitate the way a human brain works. In simple terms, hardware and software elements of a computer are wired to mimic the human nervous system and cerebral system.
                                  The goal of neuromorphic computation is to create devices that can learn, retain information, and make logical deductions just like a human brain does. It also attempts to imitate the human brain by searching for new information.
                                  However, unlike quantum computing neuromorphic computing does is not that demanding. Where quantum computers need temperatures close to absolute zero, neuromorphic computers can easily work in normal conditions.
                                  This increases its practicality and potential to integrate this technology in all kinds of devices.

                                  2. Quantum computing 

                                  Quantum computing deals with the world of atoms and subatomic particles inside those atoms. Unlike neuromorphic computation, quantum computing works on the principle of quantum entanglement.
                                  So, the smaller the computer gets, the more powerful they seem to become. Quantum computing provided powerful new possibilities.
                                  Though it is more complex than traditional computing, quantum computing opens the door to potentially solving very large and complex computational problems. It can potentially deliver a big computational upgrade for ML and AI computing.
                                  Quantum computers will not replace traditional computers. Instead, they will require the support of traditional computers for their specialized abilities.

                                  While conventional computers run commands sequentially, neuromorphic computers process and store data almost at the same time. This makes self-driving cars more energy efficient. It can also help autonomous vehicles learn skills and execute tasks more efficiently.
                                  c) Healthcare: Neuromorphic platforms can be used for the hardware-based implementation of ML methods in treating Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in home-care environments. Real-time analysis of data can be obtained by bringing data from the backend onto a neuromorphic chip.
                                  Furthermore, securing sensitive medical data on a single chip complies better with patient privacy regulations. Since neuromorphic platforms process data near a patient, it offers a large fault tolerance for medical applications.
                                  Moreover, hardware-based neuromorphic systems require less computational power making them perfect for PoC medical devices.

                                  2. Industries That Can Leverage Quantum Computing

                                  a) Aerospace: By considering an exponential number of variables, quantum computing could help determine the optimal alternative for each route. It can also help find the best way to allocate resources so that the crew and passengers are impacted as little as possible.
                                  b) Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals: Harnessing the power of quantum computing can significantly accelerate the timelines of various stages of the pharmaceutical research and development process. It can help life science companies by accelerating the speed of the pre-clinical phase and reducing the cost of drug development.
                                  c) Finance: Quantum computing will be able to help solve the problems of customers in finance institutes. It can optimize investment portfolios and financial derivatives. It can also enable the institutions to accurately characterize anomalous transactions and rapidly detect fraud.
                                  d) Chemistry: It is likely that quantum computing can be applied to simulate the properties and behavior of new molecular structures in chemistry.
