Huh, if sales uses AI/LLMs and succeeds with it, as it seemed to me youve implied with their bonuses ... Isn't that actually positive for the company?

Or do you mean they succeed by promising lies via AI?



> succeeds with it

I'd worry about things which:

1. "Succeed" in the short-term, but sets the company up for long-term failure.

2. Outperforms the competition with a pattern of activity which is actually illegal.


The industry is insurance. If you offload your due diligence to an AI that's wrong, the company will go underwater. What if the LLM tells you it's found a great market with little competition, high net worth individuals, etc. etc. and you don't check and end up making all your sales in the hills of California in wildfire country?


Not OP but I could see this being short term savings related to the cost of sourcing/generating risk data leading to bonuses prior to the deficiencies in that risk model being exposed in claims long term.
