Survey data from senior P/C technology leaders confirms what the industry suspected: the age of AI pilots is behind us. Sixty-one percent of carriers have AI in production, efficiency is the dominant value driver, and data quality has replaced budget as the primary barrier.

These same barriers are exactly what determine who is ready for agentic systems. This session presents the 2026 adoption data alongside a discussion of the transition to agentic AI: multi-step autonomous workflows in underwriting, claims, and operations. We will look at what separates the carriers positioned to lead that shift from those likely to repeat the pilot-to-production delay, and what technology leaders should be doing right now to close the gap.
