This session showcased the importance of AI in the current business landscape. It explored how to unlock the full power of data with AI, enabling the creation of AI-powered apps, and using automation to deploy AI safely all while understanding the critical role of trust in these processes. 

INSURANCE CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE AGE OF AI
Salesforce's targeted efforts toward service modernization are driving efficiency improvements within the insurance industry through the utilization of Einstein Generative AI. This strategic approach aims to mitigate the high costs associated with customer and agent acquisition.
