On November 18, 2025, Aviva announced the upcoming launch of an artificial intelligence (AI) tool designed to accelerate the underwriting process for life insurance applications. This tool is being touted as an industry-first, indicating that Aviva is taking a pioneering step in leveraging AI technology to enhance the efficiency of its underwriting processes.
The introduction of this AI tool is expected to significantly speed up the time it takes to process life insurance applications. Traditionally, underwriting has been a manual and time-consuming process, requiring extensive review and analysis of applicant data. By automating certain aspects of this process, Aviva’s AI tool aims to reduce the workload and increase the speed at which applications are processed, ultimately improving the overall customer experience.
This development reflects the growing trend of insurers embracing digital transformation and technological innovation to improve operational efficiency, enhance customer satisfaction, and stay competitive in the market. The use of AI in underwriting can help automate routine tasks, such as data collection and analysis, allowing underwriters to focus on more complex and high-value tasks that require human expertise and judgment.
Aviva’s move into AI-powered underwriting is a strategic step forward for the company, demonstrating its commitment to harnessing technology to drive business growth and improve customer outcomes. As the insurance industry continues to evolve, it is likely that we will see more insurers exploring the potential of AI and other digital technologies to transform their operations and deliver more efficient, personalized, and responsive services to their customers.
