Description

Insurance has long been reactive — AI makes it predictive. Pierre du Rostu, CEO of AXA Digital Commercial Platform, explains how AXA combines satellite imagery, real-time data and AI to anticipate risks before they emerge: wildfire risk scoring based on ground truth, supply chain blind spot mapping, geopolitical scenario planning and technological dependency analysis. Recorded at VivaTech 2026.

When historical data is no longer enough in a world of climate change and geopolitical uncertainty, discover how prevention at scale is reinventing risk management.
