Why AI can do the work

This role is predominantly digital and knowledge-based, involving data analysis, policy recommendation, and record-keeping, all of which are highly susceptible to AI automation. While the relationship-building and 'pitching' aspects provide a buffer, the UK's advanced fintech and insurance sectors are rapidly integrating AI to handle risk assessment and customer service tasks.
