Jack leads the claims department and notes that data still need to be analyzed in context by a human. Which statement best describes this view?

• A. People make little difference in analyzing data and explaining it to a customer.
• B. Claims determinations and payments will soon be accomplished entirely by AI.
• C. He will eventually not need people because insurance is not a customer-driven industry.
• D. He still needs people because the data need to be analyzed in context by a human.

Answer: (D)

Data analysis in claims works best when combined with human judgment; AI can surface patterns, but interpretation requires context. In insurance, policy language, exceptions, regulatory considerations, and the specifics of each claim need a person to weigh facts, assess what applies, and decide on appropriate action. Explaining decisions to customers and handling edge cases also benefits from human insight, not just automated outputs.

That’s why the statement that he still needs people because the data need to be analyzed in context by a human is the best description. The other options imply little or no human involvement or mischaracterize the industry, which doesn’t fit how claims decisions are made in practice.
