The Evident AI Index is a public ranking of 30 of the largest insurance companies based on their AI maturity.

Each company is evaluated against 70+ individual indicators - spanning Talent, Innovation, Leadership and Transparency - drawn from millions of publicly available data points.

Collectively, these metrics provide a comprehensive benchmark of enterprise AI adoption in insurance.

In this virtual roundtable, we'll dive into the Index results to discuss:

Where is the insurance sector when it comes to AI maturity?
Which companies are surging ahead?
And what are they doing to maximize value from AI deployment?

The author of our key findings report, Colin Gilbert, will be joined on the day by experts from the companies spearheading AI adoption in the sector, as well as Evident's Co-founder and Co-CEO, Alexandra Mousavizadeh.
