Automation

Automation alert

How technological change impacts inequality, wage divergence, and job polarisation, and what democratic states operating in a free-market environment must grapple with as digitalisation catalyses labour substitution, the erosion of the middle class, and greater income inequality, is the challenge for policy establishments the world over not wedded to dogma.

Automation: Changing the shape of the insurance sector

As per the McKinsey Global Institute report 2017, there is 43% of automation potential for insurance and finance industries. It is also estimated that by the year 2025, up to 25% of the task force in the insurance industry may be merged or replaced, especially in operations and administrative support. Currently, the insurance industry is looking at use cases for intelligent automation that will uplift the efficiency of the current processes and reduce the operational costs at the same time.

Creating independent learners

Higher educational institutions must emphasise inquiry-based mindset, the ability to be critical, analytical and creative which is underpinned by team-working ability, leadership and digital skills.
