NTT DATA, a prominent provider of AI, digital business, and technology services, today announced the launch of NTT DATA AI for Insurance. This new Service-as-Software solution aims to transform complex core insurance workflows into governed, repeatable services, specifically tailored for highly regulated insurance environments.

The solution, built on the NTT DATA AIVista platform, integrates configurable AI agents, insurance-specific data models, workflow orchestration, and enterprise-grade governance. Its design emphasizes auditability, regulatory compliance, and human oversight within operations.

NTT DATA: Modernizing Insurance Operations with AI

NTT DATA AI for Insurance is positioned to assist carriers in modernizing critical functions such as underwriting, claims processing, and customer service. The company states the solution can enhance productivity, improve decision quality, and strengthen risk management across the enterprise. Its foundation allows for rapid deployment through a prebuilt insurance framework combined with flexible configuration to adapt to individual carrier products, processes, operating models, and regulatory requirements.

A key aspect of the solution is its open integration design, allowing for deployment without vendor lock-in to existing carrier systems or specific foundation models.

Bruno Abril, Global Lead for the Insurance Industry at NTT DATA, Inc., highlighted the role of AI in supporting human expertise. “AI strengthens the ability of insurers to meet that responsibility, and NTT DATA AI for Insurance supports human expertise with intelligent systems that work within a governed operating layer for enterprise-scale transformation,” Abril stated. “The result is that insurers can move from AI-enabled workflows to AI-delivered operations, at enterprise scale and with the governance that regulators and boards demand.”

Addressing Industry Pressures

The insurance sector faces ongoing pressure to increase underwriting capacity, expedite claims and service processing, reduce loss ratios, and refine risk selection while adhering to increasingly stringent governance expectations. A recent NTT DATA report, the 2026 Global AI Report: A Playbook for AI Leaders in Insurance, indicated that while a significant majority of insurers support AI usage in both front- and back-office workflows, most have not yet industrialized agentic AI across their core operations. NTT DATA AI for Insurance is designed to bridge this gap.

Prashant Hinge, Chief Information Officer at MSIG USA, commented on the potential impact: “AI can help insurers identify high-risk claims sooner, improve consistency throughout the claims process, and equip claims professionals with the insights they need to make faster, more informed decisions.”

Comprehensive Agentic Architecture

The NTT DATA AI for Insurance solution incorporates a comprehensive agentic architecture featuring:

Specialized Models and Agents: Purpose-trained on carrier and domain-specific data to enhance reliability, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness.

Specialized Guardrails: Designed to embed governance into every AI agent decision, supporting deterministic and auditable outcomes that help meet regulatory and internal governance requirements.

AI-Native Knowledge Base and Proprietary Insurance Data Genome: Providing context for agents to interpret submissions, policies, claims, and regulatory requirements, integrated into existing carrier systems.

Prebuilt and Configurable AI Agents: Aiming for faster deployment into various insurance workflows.

Cognitive and Event-Driven Agent Orchestration: Coordinating AI agents, human personnel, systems, and processes according to carrier operating requirements.

NTT DATA’s expertise in the insurance sector is supported by its recognition as a leader in reports such as HFS Horizons: Agentic Services, 2026 Research Report, and ISG Provider Lens™ – Insurance Services – Strategic Capabilities (Insurance GenAI and Agentic AI Services).
