Artificial intelligence (AI) is not removing agents from the equation. It’s reshaping how customers approach insurance, how work gets done and where agents create the most value.

Without a framework to guide decision-making, escalation and accountability, even the most promising AI initiatives risk stalling—or worse, creating hidden exposure.

Here are three practical ways agents can use AI for promotion without feeling overwhelmed or losing control.

Thoughtful leverage of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities from both ends of the carrier-agent partnership has the potential to increase efficiency and effectiveness across the distribution system.
