Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Florian Graillot: How Intelligence on Tap and Agent-Human Teams Are Redesigning Risk
Q: What should board members understand to become frontier firms in the next few years?
They should set realistic, long-horizon goals with clear ROI, be willing to invest in AI-first capabilities, and understand the data and regulatory landscape. The emphasis should be on concrete outputs and measurable improvements rather than aspirational plans.
Florian Graillot: How Intelligence on Tap and Agent-Human Teams Are Redesigning Risk
Q: What part of today's insurance operating model do incumbents underestimate, and why should they fear AI and intelligence on tap?
The risk assessment part of the value chain is the core engine; it's under threat due to emerging risks that didn't exist before. Insurers need to rethink the entire risk value chain, not just insurance-specific processes, and leverage AI and external partnerships to build resilience rather than retreat.
Manish Shah: The Intelligent Core — How AI Is Redefining Insurance from the Inside Out
Q: How do you deal with the transformation in 2026 and serve the customer better?
Start from the customer first, listen to them, and understand their expectations.
Marinela Profi: Building the Trust Frontier or How Agentic AI Is Redefining Enterprise Decision-Making
Q: What three KPIs should organizations focus on regarding AI agents?
Define autonomy tiers, mandate agent cards for every production agent, and run kill switch drills.
Marinela Profi: Building the Trust Frontier or How Agentic AI Is Redefining Enterprise Decision-Making
