The executives addressed how their organizations are leveraging intelligent automation to streamline business processes across insurance, financial services, and healthcare sectors.

The event, moderated by Bloomberg's Niraj Patel, highlighted how enterprises are moving beyond pilot programs toward enterprise-wide AI integration to enhance business outcomes and competitive positioning.
