Meet Ivan Arkhipov — VP of software engineering at Assurance IQ, based in Florida! 👋 Ivan leads the engineering team responsible for developing our business applications. His team builds the tools that help our licensed insurance agents do everything from onboarding to connecting with customers to help them find the right insurance policy. We asked Ivan what insurance technology trend he is most excited about right now. His response? The use of machine learning and AI to power personalized experiences. “ML technology already helps agents match customers with the right insurance plan. But in the future, we might use AI to match customers with the right agent to meet their unique needs. AI could also help us analyze customer experiences at scale, optimize how we reach out to our customers, and automate reminders that help customers make the most out of their insurance policies. There are so many ways AI could power even more personalized experiences - it feels like we’re just scratching the surface, and I’m excited to see what’s to come.”
