Who authorized that agent? An insurer will have to prove it.

AI agents may soon act in an insurer’s claims settlement, underwriting and complaint handling. Today, Unica records every act of an agent under the authorization of an identified person, in a signed record, in the insurer’s own cloud account.

A person in glasses reads papers on a clipboard, seated at a laptop.

The problem

An insurer already answers for every claim and every policy. Soon it will answer for its agents’ acts too.

An insurer already decides which risks it accepts and on what terms, settles claims and sells insurance directly, through brokers and through banks. Its board oversees risk management and internal control.

When an agent builds a claim file, proposes an indemnity or reviews a life insurance application, the policyholder, the auditor or the supervisor will ask the same question a loss adjuster or an underwriter is asked today: who authorized it, under which policy, and how it is proven. If the answer depends on the model provider’s logs, it is not enough.

Two cars, one red and one black, with their fronts crashed together; the red car’s hood is crumpled and raised.

How it works

Four steps, all with a signed record.

  1. Authorization

    An identified person authorizes the agent for one function. That authorization is revoked with immediate effect.

    Today

  2. Agent act

    The agent acts under that authorization, and each act stays tied to the person who gave it. Refusal of acts outside that authority comes in 2027.

  3. Signed record

    Who acted, under whose authorization, and when. Every record is signed: a later alteration breaks the signature.

    Today

  4. Verification

    Today, the signed record stays in the insurer’s own cloud. Verification on one’s own machine, without access to Unica, comes with the verifiable evidence package: as a service in 2027 and as a product in 2028.
