Boston, February 7, 2019 – Life and annuity carriers struggle to mitigate fraud, with the primary issue being detection. Analytics tools, including the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, have advanced the detection of fraud, but life and annuity carriers have been committed to developing internal tools that limit their ability to mitigate fraud to a large scale. Are they doing themselves an injustice?
