Insurance Technology Leaders Discuss Data Trust at ACORD Connect 2026
At ACORD Connect 2026 in Connecticut, insurance technology leaders gathered to address the challenges of data trust and reliability. The conference emphasized collaboration on digital data exchange as AI and automation reshape the industry. Attendees highlighted that scalable systems for trustworthy data are critical, with over half identifying architecture improvements as key to enhancing data outcomes. Survey results revealed low confidence in internal data quality—only 7% fully confident—and significant barriers such as complexity and variety of data. Despite this, most attendees believed their data is AI-ready but acknowledged areas needing improvement. Discussions underscored the importance of common standards over proprietary systems for building trust across fragmented insurance ecosystems. Sessions included insights from an AI neuroscientist on resilience in a digital industry and panel discussions addressing threats to data integrity. The event also recognized women in insurance through inaugural awards, while students gained exposure to tech careers.
