Japanese insurer expands its partnership with Cambridge Mobile Telematics, previously launching a program for personal auto last year.

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.

Nearly all organizations that used artificial intelligence to support their efforts said they realized significant revenue increases, says new study.

Use cases range from risk modeling to fraud detection, says study.

The chip, known internally as the Apple Neural Engine, would improve the way its devices handle facial and speech recognition tasks.

New tech companies are shaking up the insurance market with Internet of Things, drone and machine learning products.

The insurtech, which got its start in travel insurance, isn't trying to take over underwriting from carriers, says CEO.

For machines to reach the sophistication insurers seek, they need massive amounts of historical information.

SVP of digital Andy Breen says that insurers should focus on the data that teaches the machine and let others handle the inner workings.

From its voice assistant to photo sharing and automatic image recognition, AI is everywhere in Google's product portfolio.

Search giant debuts version two of its chip as it transforms into an "AI-first" company and a real threat to Intel and Nvidia.
