LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Did AI Raise My Insurance Rate?

The car insurance and home insurance rate hikes over the last couple of years have nothing to do with the use of artificial insurance in the insurance market.

Insurance agents, underwriters and adjusters once did all this work, but now automation, machine learning and all sorts of other AI tools are doing it more efficiently. There is little room for human error, even in pricing. Drones are also starting to be used for evaluating risk to property, property damage and even liability risk for individuals and businesses.
