Subject: Are Humanoids Still in Control
Who out there can remember the old Sanborne Maps showing individual company risk dispersal in urban areas, glued on endorsements, Specific Line Underwriters (Inland Marine, Fire, Crime etc.), three martini lunches, Claims adjusters who bellowed at customers, Underwiters who smoked at their desk, white only just before diversity in the insurance workplace was mandated, 'Risk taking' as opposed to 'opportunity making', you can't pay out more than you bring in, #2 Lead pencils which were THE TOOL in rating, staplers and staple pullers, white shirts and tie only, big old manual with dog eared pages....
Those indeed were the days!
From the good ole days to the time of dread!
What I dread most now is the ultimate machine take- over. All Companies are working on the one Underwriter Mechanical Transformer Cyclop that will rate, underwrite, and cancel WITHOUT much humanoid intervention. Humans not wanted! That is my biggest fear as ths sun sets on my insurance career.
Here's to people and the salvation of our industry!!!!!
