Exploring the Future of Insurance in the AI Era at the General Affairs Week

Unveiling the Future of Insurance in the AI Age

The landscape of insurance is undergoing dramatic transformations as we delve deeper into the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI). On June 18, 2026, during Japan's premier back office exhibition, General Affairs Week, a special seminar will feature a compelling dialogue between Takahashi Oga, Head of General Affairs at DMM.com, and Shinzo Kazishi, Vice President of Nihon Soken Co., Ltd.

This unique session is tailor-made for general affairs professionals grappling with the repercussions of AI technology on corporate insurance and risk management, addressing what is termed the 'next-gen risk evolution.' With AI's rapid advancement, general affairs departments in companies face unprecedented challenges, from cyber security threats to potential intellectual property disputes. In the current era, merely avoiding these risks is counterproductive, as it could stymie technological growth and corporate innovation.

Context: Uncovering Hidden Risks in the AI Era

The dual-edged sword of convenience brought by AI holds lurking dangers that demand immediate attention. The types of risks confronting businesses today have evolved, necessitating a proactive approach. Instead of functioning in a solely defensive manner, organizations should embrace a new mindset toward managing these risks.

The seminar aims to merge the insights of Takahashi, who brings real-world concerns from the front lines of general affairs, and Kazishi, who serves as an expert in risk management from an insurance brokerage perspective. They will collaboratively propose methodologies for effectively navigating the complexities introduced by AI-driven risk factors.
