InsurTech weekly - Is technology better than humans?

Explore McKinsey’s latest AI benchmarks across industries, the $2.6B acquisition of NEXT Insurance by MunichRE, and Waymo’s surprising data on how robotaxis stack up against human drivers over 56.7M miles.

The first article is a report McKinsey published recently on the state of AI technologie across industries. It shared many KPI on where incumbents have leveraged these technologies the most, across business lines and functions. And it compared industries among each others, to highlight best practices.

_{2/ The story of NEXT Insurance (acquired by MunichRE)}

The second article is an essay I wrote, telling the story of Next Insurance which was acquired for $2.6B back in March 2025. It's an opportunity to remind us with its positioning, highlight where its technology adds value alongside the insurance value chain, and learn from benchmarks for future exits in the European InsurTech market too.

_{3/ How autonomous cars compare to human drivers?}

The third article was published on The Verge following Waymo's release of a new study comparing how its fleet of robotaxi compares to human drivers in terms of accidents rate. This new report relies on 56,7m miles driven as the company is expanding its fleet across the US market. Hint: you might be surprised by the comparison.
