Carriers are using AI to inspect roofs and inform coverage/claim decisions, and insurance regulators are starting to pay attention to how those models are used.

FORIf the carrier brings AI, bring better data, high-fidelity capture beats a model trained on blurry aerials every time.
AGAINSTLetting an algorithm the homeowner never sees decide a roof claim is how you get systematic denials with no one to argue with.
Consensus vs. contrarianContrarian: the fight isn't AI vs. no-AI, it's whose AI, the operators who capture model-grade documentation flip the carrier's own tooling into their evidence.
