Weeding Out Fraud: A Tom Clay Exclusive Interview in 'The Insurtech Magazine' (2023)

Fraud is a significant problem in the insurance industry, costing companies billions of dollars each year. In an exclusive interview with 'The Insurtech Magazine', Tom Clay, CEO of Fundingo, discusses the challenges of detecting and preventing fraud in the insurance industry and how technology can help.

The Challenges of Detecting and Preventing Fraud

According to Clay, one of the biggest challenges in detecting and preventing fraud is the lack of data sharing between insurers. "Insurance companies often operate in silos," he says, "which makes it difficult to identify patterns of fraud that span multiple companies."

Another challenge is the increasing sophistication of fraudsters. "Fraudsters are becoming more and more sophisticated in their techniques," says Clay. "They are using new technologies to create fake identities and documents, and they are exploiting loopholes in insurance policies."

How Technology Can Help

Clay believes that technology can play a vital role in detecting and preventing fraud in the insurance industry. "Technology can help insurers to share data more effectively," he says. "It can also be used to identify patterns of fraud and to flag suspicious claims."

One of the most promising technologies for fraud detection is artificial intelligence (AI). "AI can be used to analyze large amounts of data and identify patterns that are invisible to the human eye," says Clay. "This can help insurers to detect fraud more quickly and accurately."

The Future of Fraud Detection

Clay believes that the future of fraud detection lies in the use of AI and other technologies to create a more comprehensive and effective approach to fraud prevention. "By working together, insurers can create a system that makes it much more difficult for fraudsters to succeed," he says.
