#2 - Why Most Companies Fail to Scale AI — and How Insurers Can Succeed

22min | 07/29/2026

Description

Almost every company has launched AI pilots — very few have truly transformed. Claudio Gienal, Chief Transformation Officer at AXA Europe & Health, and Xavier Caron, Partner and insurance leader at PwC, explore what it takes to move from isolated use cases to end-to-end transformation: rethinking entire value chains, the critical role of context and data quality, human resistance to change, and the next frontier of multi-agent systems. Recorded at VivaTech 2026.

Transformation is harder than technology. Discover why redesigning insurance from the customer's accident to full resolution — not just adding AI here and there — is what changes the game.
