Gradient AI Unveils Next-Generation Workers’ Compensation Underwriting Solution with Enhanced Risk Scoring Designed for Emerging AI Regulations

Advanced AI Model Delivers Enhanced Accuracy and Speed with Improved Compliance for Insurers

Gradient AI, a leading enterprise software provider of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in the insurance industry, today announced the release of its enhanced Workers’ Compensation Underwriting Risk Score Solution. The new version delivers advances in risk scoring accuracy, regulatory compliance, and implementation speed.

The release also provides an industry leading, risk-segmenting workers’ compensation AI model. Gradient AI designed, trained, and validated its workers’ compensation AI model to ensure fairness using a methodology aligned with evolving regulatory standards, including guidance from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and various state AI circulars.

Key Innovations

• Improved Model Accuracy: The enhanced AI model, trained on a national dataset consisting of tens of billions of dollars in workers’ compensation premiums, along with third-party and proprietary features from Gradient AI’s contributory claims dataset, delivers sharper risk segmentation. This enables insurers to price policies more accurately and avoid unprofitable risks.
• Faster Implementation: Built on Gradient AI’s comprehensive dataset, implementation times can now be reduced from months to days, with no dependency on client data for initial setup.
• Fairness: The model is designed, trained, and tested to meet regulatory standards, setting a new benchmark for ethical AI in insurance underwriting. For more information, visit the Gradient AI contact page to request the whitepaper on regulatory compliance and ethical AI in underwriting.
