AI and Autonomous Mobility Signal Next Phase for Captive Insurance

Recorded live at the Captive Insurance Companies Association (CICA) 2026 International Conference, this episode of The Edge of Risk Podcast by IRMI features Steven Bauman of AXA XL discussing how artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied in captive insurance programs today. The conversation focuses on practical use cases such as underwriting support, reporting efficiency, and data analytics, while emphasizing the importance of structured, reliable data as a prerequisite for effective AI deployment.

The discussion also explores how emerging risks—particularly autonomous mobility—are expanding the scope of captive insurance programs. Mr. Bauman explains how captives may evolve to address both product-level and system-level risks, and how they continue to serve as incubators for new exposures where traditional market capacity and loss data remain limited.
