Gradient AI, an independent provider of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for the insurance industry, has successfully raised $36m.
The latest funding round, as per Insurance Digital, brings Gradient AI’s total funding to $67m. The investors in this round remain undisclosed.
Established in 2018, Gradient AI focuses on leveraging machine learning and AI to optimise and enhance various processes across the insurance sector.
Gradient AI utilises gradient-based optimisation techniques, rooted in calculus, to train AI models.
These techniques help minimise prediction errors by adjusting model parameters through a process known as gradient descent. This fundamental machine learning approach is particularly effective in training deep neural networks, which are essential for many AI applications today.
With the new funding, Gradient AI plans to further develop and enhance its AI solutions, expand its market presence, and potentially invest in new technologies or partnerships.
This financial boost is expected to significantly impact the company’s business operations, enabling it to broaden its service offerings and solidify its position in the insurance technology market.
Gradient AI’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform leverages a vast dataset that includes tens of millions of policies and claims, alongside economic, geographic, and demographic information. This comprehensive dataset allows the company to provide precise risk predictions, optimise pricing strategies, and identify fraudulent claims.
By analysing extensive historical data, Gradient AI models can uncover patterns that might be missed by human analysts, improving underwriting processes and customer satisfaction through personalised and fair pricing.
Gradient AI also finds applications beyond the insurance sector, including in healthcare for diagnostics and treatment planning, and in finance for credit scoring, fraud detection, and investment strategies. Its AI systems can adapt to changing market conditions and emerging threats, ensuring robust financial operations.
Previously, Gradient AI raised an initial funding round that contributed to its current total of $67m. This substantial backing highlights the confidence investors have in the company’s innovative approach to AI in the insurance industry.
