InsurtechLIVE 25 Keynote Address – Stephen Barnham

Why does promising new technology seem to disappoint at first?

In the 1880s Edison established the first electricity-based power generation stations.

Fast forward to a similar pattern with AI technology today – listen to this session to find out why.

Stephen Barnham is Global Chief Digital & Information Officer, Dai-ichi Life Holdings.
