In Episode 42 of The Enlightened Agent, Jason Keck sits down with Bryan Falchuk, President and CEO of the PLRB (The Property & Liability Resource Bureau), for a candid conversation about what AI actually means for the insurance industry when you are sitting at the center of it.
Bryan brings 25 years in P&C, a background spanning claims, operations, distribution, and specialty lines. Now he is leading an organization that has spent 75 years building a knowledge business, and watching AI start to ask the same questions his members used to pay him to answer. That is not a comfortable position, and he does not pretend otherwise.
They get into hallucination risk and how the design of a tool matters more than the model behind it, why a big chunk of the carrier market is still waiting for regulatory clarity that is not coming, and what it actually looks like to move forward anyway. The conversation keeps coming back to the same tension: the industry defaults to "we can't because," and the moment calls for something closer to "how might we."
In this episode, they discuss:
- Why AI is an existential question for knowledge-focused organizations like PLRB
- How to design AI tools that give the right answer, or say nothing, rather than a confident wrong one
- Why regulatory uncertainty is not a reason to stop moving
- What claims speed and accuracy mean for agents, brokers, and their clients
- The "we can't because" problem in insurance and what it costs the industry
If you work in claims, run a carrier, or sell coverage and want a ground-level read on where AI is creating real pressure right now, this one is worth your time.
