Funded Activity Summary

Everyday Insurtech: Impacts of Emerging Technology for Insurance. This project aims to investigate the emerging insurance technology (insurtech) sector, better understanding how it uses digital innovations to disrupt the insurance industry. This project expects to conduct the first major empirical study of insurtech's implementation and impacts in Australia, with a focus on automotive, health, and property coverage. Expected outcomes include essential knowledge on the politics of insurtech that can inform interventions into industry practice and regulatory policy. Benefits resulting from this project include ensuring risks of insurtech are avoided (e.g. unfair discrimination and targeted surveillance), while realising positive benefits of more effective and efficient insurance services for Australians.
