Drawing on more than 25 years across claims, underwriting, and product, Justin explains why one of the most regulated and personal lines of insurance resists full automation, and why human judgment and empathy remain essential. He breaks down how AI creates real value today by preparing work for adjusters and underwriters, not replacing them, and why data readiness, workflow quality, and governance must come before any AI rollout. The conversation also covers how to cut through vendor noise, build trust and adoption internally, and introduce AI in a way that improves speed and insight without sacrificing care for injured workers.
