Distinct AI Features
Type
- Deep Learning, Machine learning
AI use
- Darktrace technology leverages on advanced machine learning/deep learning artificial intelligence to contextualize security events, automate detection and investigation of threats and provide fast, easy to understand and actionable security narrative.
- When issuing insurance policies, Lemonade uses big data to predict risks and quantify losses by placing the customer in a risk group and thereby quoting a relevant premium. These groups of “uniform insurers” share similar risk behaviors and are compiled by AI algorithms that gather extensive customer data and monitor loss ratios (“ratio of claims paid by an insurer to premiums earned”.) The more data accumulates, the more recursive risk patterns emerge enabling more precise assessments.
