Where this applies
One of the world's largest insurers reporting on its own property and casualty business in 2025. It says AI that reads complex medical documents — medical records, admission and discharge records — was applied to end-to-end automatic settlement of non-auto insurance claims covering nearly a million cases, and that with it 70% of personal injury claims were settled automatically, in as little as 51 seconds. It also reports claims savings via smart fraud detection of RMB10.51 billion in 2025, above RMB10 billion for the third year running. These are the insurer's own figures: the savings have no stated method, and the report does not say what happens to claims the system does not settle, how many are reviewed by staff, or how many claims staff it employs.
What this means
At a very large insurer, reading the documents behind a claim and settling it is now done end to end by machine for a large share of non-auto claims, and fraud screening is automated at scale. What is left for handlers is the claims the system does not settle — which the report does not describe.
What it does not yet show
These are the insurer's own figures with no method for the savings; the report says nothing about the claims that are not settled automatically, their review, or claims staff numbers.
What you can check

Does it change the assessment?
No. The impact index is never moved by a single event. Nor did this record change a layer: all 2 linked judgements above already rested on earlier evidence. This one adds to them.
