Cloud-native DevOps for AI pipelines in insurance risk intelligence and fraud detection promotes replicability and composability across use cases. Support for scalable workloads addresses high costs, disk and memory limits, and specific cost and time-saving demands. Cloud-native principles—composability, elasticity, portability, observability, security, formal compliance, and data governance—are applied to underpin a generative AI-oriented insurance architecture. The DevOps component tailors continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices to be responsible, reproducible, reliable, and safe. Infrastructure depends on containerization and orchestration technologies to fully contemplate reproducibility, observability, isolation, and multi-cloud portability. AI workload provisioning adheres to a service model. For safe operation, specialized AI CI/CD pipelines provide model versioning and rollback, data versioning and validation, evaluation, performance metrics and safety gates for canary releases, and go/no-go decisions based on business risk appetite. Their design highlights domain-specific operational risk controls.
Different generative AI applications in insurance cover a wide spectrum of functionalities, underlining the fundamental basis for the creation of these models and the capability of these applications to adapt to different environments. Nevertheless, models must be handled with care in order to mitigate potential ethical, social, legal, regulatory, and business-related issues. Risk management and operational risk must be part of the implementation which, when properly completed, can provide a safe way to integrate these types of applications. Several risk intelligence use cases point to specific implementations demonstrated during the CapGemini FBDX programme and depict high-priority paths in the integration of such approaches, illustrating data origin and target indicators.
