Download the Scaling AI Capability Whitepaper
Most insurance and fintech firms have already built their AI pilots. Almost none have figured out how to run them at scale.
Fintech revenues grew 21% in 2024, outpacing the rest of financial services. But the firms actually capturing that advantage aren't the ones with the best models, they're the ones with the operating model to back them: the infrastructure, governance, and talent to move AI from a proof-of-concept into a production system that survives regulatory scrutiny.
With 29 US jurisdictions now actively regulating AI in insurance, the pressure to get this right isn't coming. It's already here.
Our latest whitepaper breaks down the four foundations separating firms that scale AI capability from firms still stuck in pilot purgatory, and where the AI talent market is shifting fastest heading into 2026.
