In Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 cult classic Pulp Fiction, when a situation deteriorates beyond control, everyone knows you call The Wolf. Arriving without the slightest hint of panic, he surveys the damage with practised calm and begins issuing instructions. Within minutes, chaos has been reduced to a sequence of manageable decisions.

For years, artificial intelligence has quietly tiptoed in the background of insurance claims, surfacing information, flagging risks and helping humans make decisions, but rarely taking action itself. That is beginning to change. Those stealthy steps are now becoming bashful plods, as AI's impact on the decision-making process surges.
