The report signals growing AI adoption in the insurance sector, potentially reducing operational costs and improving efficiency for insurers. This could positively impact the margins and competitiveness of companies like Allstate and Progressive, while also benefiting technology providers like Alphabet Inc. — Google Cloud Platform.
A report by Get Covered, an insurance technology firm, details how artificial intelligence is being integrated into the daily operations of US insurance companies in 2026. The report highlights that AI is moving from pilot projects to mainstream use across underwriting, customer service, fraud detection, claims processing, and internal operations. AI-powered customer service now handles up to 80% of routine inquiries, freeing licensed agents for complex cases. In claims processing, computer vision models assess vehicle damage from photos, and generative AI assists adjusters with documentation. Underwriting decisions remain with humans, but AI assistants consolidate information and recommend next steps. The report also notes that fraudsters use the same technology to create fake documents and synthetic identities. It cites Allstate and Progressive as having expanded AI-powered customer service, and USAA partnering with Alphabet Inc. — Google Cloud Platform to develop computer vision models for vehicle damage assessment. The overall shift is toward AI handling routine tasks while humans retain responsibility for complex decisions.
