Insurer has partnered with Founders Factory, a London-based accelerator, to develop five health startups each year.

The new system is powered by "AVA," a smart assistant leveraging telematics data to replicate accident scenes in seconds.

But most firms are focused on just having an artificial intelligence capability rather than one that adds real value, Gartner says.

Deep learning applications may put insurers on the forefront of technology.

Insurtech Tractable is among a growing group of companies using AI to inspect damage faster than human eyes can.

New capability helps customers, including insurance companies, minimize disruptions like server outages by predicting problems before they occur.

With its EMAP platform, the company says it's more agile and better able to explore new ways to interacts with clients.

More than 100 scientists from various sub-fields of AI research will work to create a single system that can tackle a wide-range of tasks, company says.

The most difficult to acquire talent this summer are IT pros with experience in artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, says CompTIA.

Demand for AI and information management talent is skyrocketing but filling those positions is proving tough, says Indeed.
