Artificial intelligence and machine learning in insurance : a bibliometric analysis

Purpose : The aim of this chapter is to provide a quantitative literature review on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in the Insurance Sector. Need for the Study : The current study maps the literature regarding AI and ML in the insurance sector through bibliometric tools to identify the significant gaps in the available literature, considerable insights that emerged, and a scientific evaluation of AI and ML in the Insurance sector. Methodology : The VOS viewer method was used to conduct the depth and quantitative analysis of the AI and ML in Insurance. The study of 450 articles has been retrieved through the Scopus database from 2012 to 2021. The implication of performance analysis methods has helped to explore influential journals, authors, countries, Keywords, and affiliations, elevating the literature in AI and the Insurance Sector.
