當整個鏈圈和币圈都(dōu)在瘋狂地追逐财富效應時,很少人(rén)能潛下心來(lái),去(qù)關心區塊鏈技術(shù)對一個垂直行業的真實影(yǐng)響,尤其是習慣了一個個熟悉的生活場景後,太多人(rén)因此失去(qù)了對生活痛點的些許感知。
我始終有個觀點:創業者的使命擔當在于,通過創業這種可(kě)持續的經濟行爲,幫助更多的人(rén)享受福祉。尤其是當一項新技術(shù)映入眼簾時,創業者應該敏銳的把它轉化爲踐行該使命的有效杠杆。實際上,就(jiù)像區域經濟的發展不均衡一樣,細分(fēn)行業的技術(shù)發展不均衡,也廣泛存在。就(jiù)拿維系億萬人(rén)生活保障的保險業來(lái)說(shuō),相(xiàng)較于金融業的其他(tā)兩個分(fēn)支(銀行和證券),保險業的信息化和數據化程度,尚處于一個洪荒時代,而這也給了技術(shù)型選手以良機(jī)。
保險是消費升級的前提
作爲一個耳熟能詳的傳統業态,保險業甚至越來(lái)越成爲維系民(mín)生的*基礎行業之一。雖然消費升級的口号不絕于耳,但(dàn)當下的老百姓,真的做好追求自(zì)我實現的準備了嗎(ma)?實際上,根據馬斯洛需求理(lǐ)論的推斷,任何一次從(cóng)吃(chī)飽穿暖到受尊重和自(zì)我實現的跨越,都(dōu)少不了安全需求的率先滿足。
人(rén)在做決策時,通常會有兩個動機(jī):追求快(kuài)樂和逃避痛苦,而且以後者爲主。而保險業的本質就(jiù)在于它能通過社會資源的配置,來(lái)幫助更多的人(rén)免遭痛苦,哪怕是一趟不期而遇的飛機(jī)延誤,也能通過一份保險,*大(dà)程度的平複乘客内心的忿恨。
某種程度上講,保險承擔着社會秩序穩定劑的角色,也是推動億萬用戶消費升級的保障,作用不言而喻。然而就(jiù)是這樣一道至關重要的橋連,現實中卻被演繹爲了勞動密集型行業,君不見(jiàn)萬千保險銷售大(dà)軍,浩浩蕩蕩,各種成功學式的推銷策略,讓保險受衆甚至陷入了“談險色變”的窘态。這種強迫式的推拉術(shù),使得(de)想通過購(gòu)買保險尋求安全感的一絲希望,慢(màn)慢(màn)破滅了。加上高人(rén)力成本和産品層層分(fēn)包導緻的分(fēn)發效率低下,買保險變得(de)越來(lái)越不經濟。即使如(rú)此,保險依然是一個沒有上限、體(tǐ)量巨大(dà)且高速增長的行業,根據安聯集團數據,在2016年(nián)全球保險費總收入就(jiù)達到了3.6萬億歐元,産值甚至超過了GDP排名全球第三的日(rì)本,而中國于2017年(nián)完成了20%的增長。
當一個行業的體(tǐ)量足夠大(dà)、産業效率足夠低下時,其市場紅(hóng)利就(jiù)會愈發誘人(rén),而技術(shù)所彰顯的力量也就(jiù)更加所向披靡,而保險業恰恰就(jiù)是這樣一個典型的利基市場,所以也吸引了更多的大(dà)玩家用前沿科(kē)技,來(lái)對行業進行重新洗牌。尤其是解決産業效率的人(rén)工(gōng)智能技術(shù)和解決信任難題的區塊鏈技術(shù),兩大(dà)技術(shù)的并行,給了保險業以重塑的曆史性機(jī)遇。
傳統保險業的弊端越來(lái)越明顯
保險作爲一種強信任屬性的托付類商品,在傳統保險生态下,其信任錨定物是繁亂而脆弱的保險公司品牌,而支撐起信任價值傳遞的卻是整體(tǐ)素質較低的密集型勞動力,信任基石的脆弱和信任傳遞鏈條的低效,導緻了保險信任價值的持續衰減,投射在投保人(rén)的心智上就(jiù)是:*該被信任的人(rén),卻傷害我*深。陳舊的公司架構,已無法承載保險價值的續航,把信任主體(tǐ)從(cóng)善變的傳統組織過渡到**公正的技術(shù)生态,已成爲必然。
實際上,日(rì)本壽險巨頭富國生命保險已經于2017年(nián)引入人(rén)工(gōng)智能系統,直接裁減了近30%的保險理(lǐ)賠員(yuán)工(gōng)。而把人(rén)工(gōng)智能系統和區塊鏈技術(shù)同時應用于保險行業的,SmartInsur Protocol(以下簡稱“SIP”)算是翹楚。
SIP是一個基于公有區塊鏈協議(yì)的保險底層鏈,用區塊鏈爲保險産品的發行、銷售、投保和理(lǐ)賠提供智能合約市場,并對人(rén)工(gōng)智能進行認證、管理(lǐ)和數據學習,在SIP社區内,所有參與主體(tǐ)的貢獻都(dōu)會促進該底層鏈的發展和完善,從(cóng)而獲得(de)收益。
圍繞傳統保險業的痛點,SIP提出了重塑保險信任價值的三大(dà)策略:
第一、AI負責替代密集勞動力,降低保險的信任傳遞成本,提高傳遞效率,把組織吞噬的高額流通成本,釋放(fàng)給SIP生态。
第二、智能合約替代冗繁而霸權的保險協議(yì),把保險權益公平安全的交付給參與主體(tǐ),即确保保單賠付,根除騙保、不保等“賴保”行爲。
第三、深度結合有300多年(nián)曆史的勞合社賠付制度,共享全球保險人(rén)才、資金和技術(shù)資源,儲蓄海量保險金,**解決老百姓買了有的賠的難題。
SIP正在用Ai和區塊鏈改變傳統保險業
在踐行過程中,SIP已經形成了自(zì)己獨有的保險生态——
Aimi工(gōng)作的樣子
第一,通過保險機(jī)器人(rén)引擎Aimi解放(fàng)人(rén)力冗餘,并釋放(fàng)保險産品流轉效率。
Aimi是業内**能夠讀(dú)懂(dǒng)保單理(lǐ)解保險責任的機(jī)器人(rén),基于核心上千萬數據量的保險知識圖譜,可(kě)以在數秒内回答400萬餘種保險問(wèn)題,相(xiàng)當于三年(nián)經驗的保險顧問(wèn),除此之外,它還(hái)能設計(jì)保險方案、核保定價、核賠定損和産品咨詢等能力。
經過1年(nián)半的線上運行,Aimi的系統交互友好功能已日(rì)臻完善,而且目前服務了中國人(rén)保、華潤集團、中國人(rén)壽、用友集團、金蝶集團等上千家企業,爲50萬用戶提供了智能保險服務,能支撐的保險敞口達到700多億元。由于強勁技術(shù)力量的吸引,已經與國際國内80餘家保險公司建立起了合作關系。
第二,構建點到點、端到端的SIP社區生态圈,讓保險的雨(yǔ)露無損的滴灌于每個參與主體(tǐ)。
實際上,SIP社區裡(lǐ)融合了保險産品***、保險産品投資人(rén)、保險産品銷售員(yuán)、核保核賠師(shī)、投保人(rén)和助手機(jī)器人(rén)Insurbot JR.等六個角色,保險産品在該6大(dà)主體(tǐ)上的流轉,也都(dōu)将遵循智能合約,真正實現了去(qù)中心化的自(zì)運行,即基于該生态,每個人(rén)都(dōu)可(kě)以保險産品的設計(jì)、投資、銷售、投保等,而這很可(kě)能意味着舊有的保險生态将坍塌,尤其是保險産品公司和保險代理(lǐ)公司兩個龐然大(dà)物,公司化的保險組織形态,将不可(kě)避免地遭遇到新興商業社區力量的對撞。
以後,當你(nǐ)需要投保時,你(nǐ)隻須成爲SIP社區成員(yuán),通過機(jī)器人(rén)了解保險産品詳情後,支付SIP的token即可(kě),一段時間後發生了理(lǐ)賠,則可(kě)以通過核賠師(shī)進行審核并确認,獲得(de)相(xiàng)應的賠償token,而核賠師(shī)也将收取服務token,你(nǐ)所享受的該保險産品,其***和投資人(rén)也都(dōu)将獲得(de)相(xiàng)應的token,而整個咨詢、投保和賠付等行爲過程,都(dōu)将以數據的形式對機(jī)器人(rén)進行培訓,而機(jī)器人(rén)也将對該數據供給支付相(xiàng)應的token,機(jī)器人(rén)的成長将更加**的促進該社區運行效率的提升。至此,區塊鏈和人(rén)工(gōng)智能将互相(xiàng)喂養、徹底融爲一體(tǐ)。
在該生态裡(lǐ),投資人(rén)可(kě)以獲得(de)基于區塊鏈的更多樣的數字資産投資類型,而投保人(rén)可(kě)以獲得(de)更廣泛的全球化的保險産品。随着社區生态的進一步擴大(dà),SIP的投保和獲賠币種,将不限于SIPCoin,而這将惠及整個區塊鏈世界的數字人(rén)類。
第三、機(jī)器人(rén)Insurbot JR.的成長數據管理(lǐ)。
它會以數字資産的形式受到區塊鏈技術(shù)的保護,版權可(kě)以溯源,社區成員(yuán)在分(fēn)享數據訓練機(jī)器人(rén)時,也可(kě)以随時随地獲得(de)勞動報酬。
SIP的經濟模型符合“分(fēn)布式商業思想”
SIP的橫空出世,踐行了區塊鏈的“分(fēn)布式商業思想”——
第一、在SIP社區裡(lǐ),六大(dà)參與主體(tǐ)都(dōu)被确權。
譬如(rú),保險***享有産品擁有權,保險投資人(rén)享有産品收益權,保險産品銷售員(yuán)将享受産品銷售收益權,核保核賠師(shī)将擁有核定權,投保人(rén)将擁有投保數據資産的所有權,助手機(jī)器人(rén)Insurbot JR.将根據社區成員(yuán)角色,其版權和權益将歸屬于相(xiàng)關成員(yuán)。
第二、在SIP社區裡(lǐ),成員(yuán)間的行爲都(dōu)可(kě)以證券化。
保險産品在參與主體(tǐ)之間流轉時,産生的讀(dú)單、方案設計(jì)、核保定價、核賠定損和産品咨詢等行爲,都(dōu)以token的形式呈現并做相(xiàng)應支付,真正實現了“行爲即數據,數據資産”。
第三、在SIP社區裡(lǐ),保險流通都(dōu)将智能合約化。
實際上,SIP團隊在搭建該社區時,設計(jì)了保險産品智能合約、保險産品投資智能合約、保單智能合約、賠案智能合約、保險機(jī)器人(rén)智能合約等五大(dà)合約。這将徹底根除傳統保險組織結構的環節冗餘,提升保險流通效率。
SIP的橫空出世,仰仗于傳統的保險從(cóng)業者對舊保險規則的把持,讓舊有的保險市場趨于闆結,而舊規則凝結下的既得(de)利益,沒辦法讓舊勢力輕易放(fàng)下,才給了創新者以機(jī)會。
SIP的豪華團隊
如(rú)此龐大(dà)一個保險業态,需要有**的團隊和行業資源與之匹配。實際上,SIP集合了一支Ai+Insurance+Blockchain基因的**團隊,由前香港保險學會會長Howard Tsang,保險業亞洲區高管Wenjun Pang(人(rén)工(gōng)智能算法碩士、全球第三大(dà)保險經紀公司亞洲區總監)、愛因斯坦母校(xiào)蘇黎世聯邦理(lǐ)工(gōng)的A專家Mike Yang(50餘篇機(jī)器學習、人(rén)工(gōng)智能論文,***Ai會議(yì)AAAI、機(jī)器學習會議(yì)ICML等論文11篇)、平安科(kē)技區塊鏈技術(shù)專家Chuanmin Zuo、前法國安盛集團亞洲區**核保人(rén)Daniel Su、極客全棧工(gōng)程師(shī)、前房(fáng)多多技術(shù)團隊長Cloudy等業内精英聯合成立。
SIP的顧問(wèn)團也堪稱豪華:日(rì)本保險學會會長Hitoshi Nemoto、法國安盛保險集團香港CEO Pierre Martelly、倫敦保險巨頭Faber家族Michael Faber、韓國現代保險公司部門(mén)長Sang-Soo Lee、東印度怡和洋行渣甸保險經紀韓國區部長Katie Gang等。
保險是僅次于貨币的信任商品,牽系着億萬人(rén)的福祉,沒有普惠保險的保障,任何消費升級行爲都(dōu)是空談,在保險業發展如(rú)此粗鄙的今天,用這樣一份成本高昂、效率低下的保險業态來(lái)支撐起百姓的尊嚴和自(zì)我實現,未免太過天真。
當整個舊保險業态不思進取的時候,唯有寄希望于擁有大(dà)情懷和大(dà)格局的保險人(rén),利用人(rén)工(gōng)智能和區塊鏈技術(shù)的鐵犁來(lái)劃開闆結的保險土(tǔ)壤,才能讓保險的真實價值萌芽,并長成庇佑百姓的森林,作爲一株頑強的秧苗,SIP顯然已經破土(tǔ)而出了,随着社區力量的灌溉,一片嶄新的保險生态,必将澤被世人(rén)。(轉載自(zì)搜狐财經)
From :businessinsuranceU.S. commercial property/casualty rates rose 5% on average in the fourth quarter of 2019, up from 4% in the third quarter, reflecting insurers’ intent to continue to increase prices across most lines, online insurance exchange MarketScout Corp. said Monday.“Auto rate increases have been up all year long; however D&O (directors & officers) and professional rate increases have spiked significantly in the fourth quarter,” Richard Kerr, CEO of MarketScout Corp. said in a statement.Insurers are carefully analyzing their property exposures using catastrophe modeling tools, he said. “We expect many of the major property catastrophe insurers to curtail their 2020 writings in California brush and East and Gulf Coast wind areas. Naturally, this will result in higher rates to insureds,” Mr. Kerr said.D&O liability rates increased by 8.25%, while commercial auto increased 8% in the quarter, and professional liability rates were up 6%, and umbrella/excess rates were up 5.5%, according to MarketScout.Commercial property rates increased 5.25% in the quarter, and business interruption rates were up 5%, while all other lines showed smaller increases, except for workers compensation, where rates fell 1%, MarketScout said.By industry class, transportation and habitational saw the highest average rate increases at 9% and 8.25% respectively, MarketScout said.Large accounts – those with $250,001 to $1 million in premium – saw a rate hike of 5.5% in the fourth quarter, as did jumbo accounts, which have more than $1 million in premium. Small accounts – those with up to $25,000 in premium – were up 5%, while medium accounts – those with $25,001 to $250,000 in premium – were up 4.5%.The “steady trend” of upward rates reflects insurers’ plans to continue increasing prices across all lines except for workers compensation, MarketScout said.Organizer:China Insurance Digital & AI Development 2020Web:http://en.zenseegroup.com/p/560573/Contact:Ann 021-65650305
From :insurancejournalIt was a relatively quiet year for the Southeast in terms of major catastrophes compared with 2018 when Hurricane’s Michael and Florence caused major damage in the region. This year, Hurricane Dorian sideswiped the Southeast coast and made landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina but most of the area was spared. Still, Aon said economic damage in the U.S. and Canada was poised to approach a combined $1.5 billion.Florida spent the year recovering from Hurricane Michael, which was upgraded to a Category 5 storm by NOAA in April. Florida officials have repeatedly called on the insurance industry to speed up the recovery process, with nearly 12% of claims still open a year after the storm hit.Organizer:China Insurance Digital & AI Development 2020Web:http://en.zenseegroup.com/p/560573/Contact:Ann 021-65650305
From:businessinsuranceeinsurance renewals at Jan. 1, 2020, mainly saw single-digit increases, with some exceptions, according to reports by reinsurance brokers released Thursday.Willis Re, the reinsurance brokerage of Willis Towers Watson PLC, and Guy Carpenter & Co. LLC, a unit of Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc. both reported that year-end reinsurance renewals varied by account and region, but the retrocessional reinsurance was under pressure.Rates on line for property catastrophe reinsurance programs remained stable and property per risk pricing was driven by individual program performance, the Willis report said.Although some Lloyd’s of London syndicates took firm positions on rate increases and the London market authorized capacity decreased, that capactiy was replaced by new capital and a strong supply from other markets, Willis Re said.U.S. loss-free accounts renewed at flat to up 10% while those with losses saw increases of 10% to 50%, the Willis Re report said, which was among the largest increases. Property catastrophe accounts without losses renewed at flat to up 5%, while loss hit accounts were up 10% to 20%, Willis Re said.According to the Guy Carpenter report, the brokerage’s global property catastrophe rate on line index rose 5% in 2019.According to the Willis Re report, other large increases were seen in Central and Eastern Europe, where property programs with losses saw increases of 5% to 20%, and Canada, where such accounts renewed up 10% to 40%.Most other regions and countries saw property increases in the single or low double digits, the report said.The Jan. 1 renewals saw some “difficult” negotiations, according to a letter in the report from James Kent, global CEO, Willis Re.The Guy Carpenter report said the reinsurance market was “asymmetrical,” adding “this is certainly not a one-size-fits-all market” and while overall capacity remained adequate, “allocated capacity tightened notably in stressed classes.”Dedicated reinsurance capital rose 2% in 2019 and the year saw approximately $60 billion in global insured catastrophe losses, according to Guy Carpenter, which was significantly lower than 2017 and 2018.Alternative capital, however, contracted by approximately 7% percent “as investors were more cautious with new investments after assessing market dynamics and pricing adequacy,” Guy Carpenter said.The retrocession market “was challenged … by trapped capital, a lack of new capital and continued redemptions from third-party capital providers,” a statement issued with the Guy Carpenter report said.However, significant retrocession providers returned to the market in the past two weeks, Willis Re said.Organizer:China Insurance Digital & AI Development 2020Web:http://en.zenseegroup.com/p/560573/Contact:Ann 021-65650305
