Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional manual underwriting is used, then personal judgment and flexibility are applied, but the process is time-consuming and prone to human error
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an AI assistant as an intermediary between the underwriter and the underwriting process. The AI assistant handles time-consuming tasks such as data extraction, document analysis, and risk assessment, while the underwriter maintains decision-making authority. This mediator approach resolves the contradiction by automating routine operations (reducing time) while preserving human judgment (maintaining flexibility).
Solution Approach 2:
The underwriting process is segmented into distinct functional components: data collection, document analysis, risk assessment, and decision-making. The AI assistant handles the first three segments, automating them to reduce time, while the human underwriter retains control over the final decision-making segment, preserving flexibility and judgment.
2Reliability
If rule-based underwriting systems are used, then consistency is improved, but the systems are inflexible and require constant updates
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from static rule-based approaches to dynamic AI-driven assessment. The AI assistant learns from historical data and adapts to new risk patterns continuously, maintaining consistency through trained models while gaining adaptability to complex and novel scenarios without requiring manual rule updates.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the fundamental parameters of underwriting from fixed rules to flexible AI models. The AI assistant uses machine learning algorithms that can adjust their internal parameters and decision boundaries based on the complexity of each case, enabling both consistency in standard cases and adaptability in complex scenarios.
3Measurement precision
If statistical models are used, then historical data analysis is improved, but new or changing risk factors are not accounted for
Solution Approach 1:
The AI assistant implements continuous feedback loops where outcomes of risk assessments are fed back into the system to refine future predictions. This allows the system to maintain high accuracy on historical data while adapting to new risk factors through ongoing learning from both historical and current data patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The AI assistant performs preliminary analysis of both historical data and emerging risk patterns before final underwriting decisions. This preliminary action on diverse data types enables the system to maintain precision on historical risks while being prepared to recognize and adapt to new risk factors.
4Productivity
If ML models are used, then large dataset analysis is improved, but the models are black box and require large amounts of data
Solution Approach 1:
The AI assistant serves as an interpretable intermediary between complex ML models and underwriters. It provides explanations for risk assessments in human-understandable terms, translating black box model outputs into actionable insights without sacrificing the powerful data analysis capabilities of underlying ML models.
5Reliability
If expert-based systems are used, then decision-making knowledge is encoded, but the systems have limited adaptability and scalability
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mechanical process of encoding expert knowledge into fixed rules with an AI-based system that learns patterns from data. This substitution maintains the reliability of expert-level decision-making while achieving scalability, as the AI assistant can handle increasing volumes of cases without the linear scaling limitations of expert-based rule systems.
Data Source
AI summary
A back-end application computer server may receive a risk relationship analysis request from a user device. The computer server may then extract and summarize information, by a data extractor using deep learning and natural language processing from multiple data sources (including knowledge graphs, websites, and historical loss reports). A response generator may then generate an accurate and contextually relevant response based on the extracted data and information in a risk relationship data store. The risk relationship data store may, for example, contain electronic records associated with a plurality of risk relationships between the enterprise and parties. The relevant response can then be transmitted to the user device.
