AI and MGAs – full speed ahead or third-mover advantage?

Wednesday, April 29 | 8:30 AM

INDUSTRY SPEAKER: Paolo Cuomo

Since ChatGPT’s arrival 3.5 years ago, AI has generated both excitement and uncertainty. While it’s clear the technology is here to stay, predicting its impact remains challenging—especially as insurers discover that pilots are easy, but scaling is not.

_

For MGAs, familiar strategic questions resurface: Does the lack of legacy systems help or hinder innovation? Does a narrower focus create an advantage over large carriers? And could AI reshape—or compress—the insurance value chain?

This session will explore emerging concepts like Agentic AI while examining the risks, opportunities, and which next steps are “no-regret” moves versus those worth waiting on.
