Some insurance claims can not be evaluated solely by using rules. Intuition and human judgement are needed in evaluating some claims.

No, the fact that a computer cannot detect a lie is a problem. As some small lies someone tells might not effect the claim. I don’t think a computer will be smart enough to know the difference

"Claims adjuster" is a very broad term. I currently do field investigations of large commercial property losses, and there's quite a bit of nuance when determining if a claim is covered as well as the negotiations with different experts, contractors, and etc. I feel like automation may help with the job, but don't see the profession being removed completely.

Tech is already here - drones can do a full exterior inspection, use object detection for finding roofing damage, spit out an estimate better than 7/10 adjusters.

Industry has been on a downward path since 2005, its only going to get worse.

What's left is dealing with PAs, ex-convict roofers, Karens who freak out it'll take the drones 3 days to do an inspection, and OCD nonsense from carriers.
