HZ Insurance Forum 2026
Expert Lunch Hosted by Sixfold, Adnovum and Squirro
Topic: Building AI-Fluent Underwriting Teams
Description: The industry is short on experienced underwriters, and the new generation entering the field grew up with ChatGPT. They expect modern tools. That's not a problem, it's an opportunity. But only if insurers invest in more than the technology itself. Buying AI isn't the hard part. Building a team that knows what to do with it is. Underwriters who can read AI outputs critically, collaborate with AI agents, and still bring their own judgment when it counts. That takes new skills, new habits, and real organizational change, not just a new tool in the stack. In this session, Adnovum, Sixfold, and Squirro talk through what that change actually looks like: the messy, practical reality of upskilling teams, earning trust in AI, and getting it to stick in day-to-day workflows.
Your takeaway: The insurers who get this right won't just have better technology. They'll have better teams.
