However, more than half of Lemonade\u2019s claims are still being handled by humans given their complexity which means that Lemonade still has a long way to go [5].<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use of machine learning to transform the DNA of insurance\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lemonade uses ML to underwrite customer risk and handle claims transforming insurance from \u201cgrudge purchase\u201d to a \u201cconvenience purchase\u201d. The usage of AI significantly improves processes in insurance as it increases underwriting precision improving premium pricing accuracy, enhances customer experience through fast paper-free processes, and lowers claims costs by reducing fraud.<\/p>\n<p>When issuing insurance policies, Lemonade uses big data to predict risks and quantify losses by placing the customer in a risk group and thereby quoting a relevant premium. These groups of \u201cuniform insurers\u201d share similar risk behaviors and are compiled by AI algorithms that gather extensive customer data and monitor loss ratios (\u201cratio of claims paid by an insurer to premiums earned\u201d [6]). The more data accumulates, the more recursive risk patterns emerge enabling more precise assessments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/recursion-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-35685\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/recursion-2-1024x310.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/recursion-2-1024x310.png 1024w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/recursion-2-300x91.png 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/recursion-2-768x233.png 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/recursion-2-600x182.png 600w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/recursion-2.png 1030w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Figure 3: recursion patters forming with data accumulation [7]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/group.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-35683\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/group-1024x719.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/group-1024x719.png 1024w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/group-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/group-768x539.png 768w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/group-600x421.png 600w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-rctom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/group.png 1030w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Figure 4: improvement of underwriting precision with more data points [8]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In claims settlement, Lemonade\u2019s \u201cAI Jim\u201d assesses the claim by cross-referencing home information, compares it to the customer\u2019s policy, runs fraud algorithms, and finally approves or rejects a claim.

Improving current models is important, but the company should also have a vision for its expansion plan to new products and geographies.<\/p>\n<p>The following challenges should be addressed for Lemonade to achieve scale:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increase in customer demand<\/strong>: increase in claims especially after natural disasters should still be handled in a cost-efficient manner. Will lemonade\u2019s bots and \u201cno-employee\u201d model be able to process all the data as these transactions become more complex? [11]<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data shortage<\/strong>: Lemonade\u2019s databases are still limited. How will it compete with traditional insurance companies that own extensive data and are already digitizing processes? Will Lemonade\u2019s AI-based underwriting still be relevant? [12]<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low quality of data<\/strong>: gathered data is based on customer information which could potentially cover factors important in decision making. How can Lemonade ensure its data is accurate, representative, and unbiased? [13]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While the company mentions a medium-term plan to scale, it still does not have a concrete strategy to address the aforementioned issues. Lemonade should consider practical solutions such as acquiring representative external data to train its models, partnering with large insurance companies to handle complex claims, and outsourcing customer service when capacity is exceeded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Future of machine learning in insurance going forward <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the company thinks about improving its current AI models and prepares to scale, it could explore a wider use of AI across the insurance value chain. Will it be possible to use AI in product development i.e. in customizing policies? Can it use ML and IoT to prevent risks from happening?
