UK Insurance Industry Embracing AI for Faster Claims and Better Premiums

A significant shift is underway in the UK insurance industry, with consumers and insiders embracing the potential of artificial intelligence (AI). According to recent surveys, a substantial proportion of consumers are comfortable with AI tools determining their insurance premiums and claim outcomes. Meanwhile, industry insiders anticipate that underwriting and risk profiling will be the most positively impacted areas by AI adoption.

The integration of AI promises numerous benefits. It can automate claims processing, reducing settlement times for consumers. Moreover, AI's speed and precision in pattern recognition enable it to quantify risks more accurately and underwrite policies faster. This increased efficiency is already evident, with 59% of financial institutions reporting improved productivity due to AI, up from 32% in 2024.

The enhanced capabilities of AI are not only benefiting insurers but also consumers. A third of financial institutions report enhanced client experience due to AI, up from 14% in 2024. This improved experience is likely to continue as AI expands its influence to claims management and customer services, with 20.3% and 17.6% of responses respectively expecting significant impact.

Looking ahead, the underwriting and claims management region of the insurance value creation process is expected to be most positively influenced by AI in Q3 2025. As AI continues to be adopted, it is poised to drive greater efficiencies, improve customer experience, and increase profitability in the UK insurance industry.
