Abstract

The following relates generally to using artificial intelligence (AI) and/or machine learning (ML) to recommend a change in insurance coverage. In some embodiments, one or more processors: receive customer information of an insurance customer; determine that an insurance change recommendation trigger has occurred by routing the customer information into an insurance recommendation machine learning and/or artificial intelligence algorithm; and in response to determining the insurance change recommendation trigger, send a recommendation for an insurance policy change for the insurance customer.

11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the insurance recommendation machine learning algorithm determines that the insurance change recommendation trigger has occurred by determining that an event of the insurance customer has occurred, and wherein the event comprises:

a child change event;

a marital status change event;

a monetary income change event;

a possession change event; and/or

a home location change event.

12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:

the insurance recommendation machine learning algorithm determines that the insurance change recommendation trigger has occurred by determining that an event of the insurance customer has occurred;

the event comprises a child change event comprising that the insurance customer has had a child; and

the insurance change recommendation trigger comprises a trigger to recommend increasing life insurance coverage.

13 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:

the insurance recommendation machine learning algorithm determines that the insurance change recommendation trigger has occurred by determining that an event of the insurance customer has occurred;

the event comprises a monetary income change event; and

the insurance change recommendation trigger comprises a trigger to recommend modifying coverage of an umbrella insurance policy.

14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:

the recommendation for the insurance policy change is based upon the determined insurance change recommendation trigger;

the insurance recommendation machine learning algorithm determines that the insurance change recommendation trigger has occurred by determining that an event of the insurance customer has occurred; and

one of:

the event comprises a possession change event comprising that the insurance customer has acquired a new automobile, and the recommendation for an insurance policy change comprises a recommendation to add a new automobile insurance policy;

the event comprises a marital status change event, and the recommendation for an insurance policy change comprises a recommendation to change a beneficiary of a life insurance policy; and

the event comprises a possession change event, and the recommendation for an insurance policy change comprises a recommendation to include a possession of the possession change event in an inventory of a homeowners insurance policy.

15 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the sending the recommendation for an insurance policy change causes a display device to display:
