A look at three digital strategies for overcoming challenges.

Digital Insurance is fielding its 2024 Predictions survey about technology and issues affecting insurance.

As part of the deal, Anthropic will move most of its software to Amazon Web Services data centers, and use the cloud computing company's homegrown chips to train the models it uses to power chatbots and other applications.

Water leak and freeze sensors designed by the insurer's IoT subsidiary, Meshify, will connect through the shared network.

The product also has sensors to detect motion within the vehicle and external disturbances, such as when the car is hit or broken into.

The Amazon Insurance Store will show star ratings, customer reviews and claims acceptance rates for the insurers, similar to the other products for sale on the site.

According to a Breeze survey, 55% of consumers would be interested in buying a hypothetical insurance product from Amazon that used data analytics to determine policy pricing, over a legacy carrier.

Amazon says it isn’t legally culpable because the driver worked for Harper Logistics LLC, one of thousands of small businesses launched in recent years specifically to deliver Amazon packages. By focusing on the key role played by the algorithms, Rana’s attorney, Scott Harrison, is looking to prove that the company controls the operation, managing everything from how many packages drivers must deliver to whether they should be kept on or fired.

Three years ago, Amazon.com Inc. issued an invitation that seemed too good to pass up: Start your own company and earn as much as $300,000 a year delivering packages for the world’s largest online retailer.

Amazon will require third-party sellers to secure product liability coverage after reaching $10,000 in sales in one month on Amazon.
