P/C Insurance Profit Making

Carrier Management Magazine • Quarter 2 2023 Edition

Profit-making engines of P/C insurers are featured in this edition, along with articles about a current hot topic in tech—generative AI.

“Alignment” is a key concept that ties the two seemingly disparate themes together.

Aligning values of people and machines in some chosen way to achieve desired outcomes is a key to success in both areas.

Read the stories of RLI’s 27 straight years of underwriting profit, American Modern’s multiyear business transformation and SiriusPoint’s in-progress turnaround, told to Carrier Management by the executives that manage the alignment activities. And then read about the perils of misaligning emerging generative AI tools, like ChatGPT.
