We’re proud to share that UnlikelyAI has won the Excellence in Claims Technology Award at the Insurance Times Awards 2025 — a recognition of our work in bringing trustworthy, high-precision AI to one of the most critical parts of insurance: claims.

This award marks an important moment for our team, our partners, and for the wider industry. It reinforces something we’ve believed from day one: AI can transform claims, but only if it is accurate, consistent and explainable.

The challenge: Trust in AI is under pressure

Across the industry, insurers are wrestling with a difficult problem. Many AI tools today rely heavily on probabilistic models such as large language models. While powerful, they can behave unpredictably, especially in high-stakes claims decisions where inconsistencies, hallucinations or hidden errors can have real consequences.

The result? Automation stalled at the point of actual decision-making. Claims teams remained overloaded. Customers were left waiting. Confidence in AI was low.

We entered the category of Excellence in Claims Technology because we saw an opportunity to show that there is a safer, more reliable way to use AI in claims.

Our approach: Neurosymbolic AI built for precision and accountability

What makes our technology different is our neurosymbolic design, which combines the strengths of neural and symbolic systems to deliver controlled, trustworthy automation at scale.

• Neural models extract structured information from documents

• Symbolic rules enforce constraints, handle edge cases and encode domain expertise

The system answers only when it is at least 99 percent certain and provides a consistent yes, no or don’t-know response. Ambiguous claims are automatically flagged for human review, enabling safe, controlled automation at scale.

This approach allows insurers to benefit from AI without lowering their standards.

Real impact: Faster, more accurate, more scalable

We partnered with a UK Insurtech to pilot the platform.

The results have been clear:

• Claims handlers processed 1.7x more cases

• 50% of digital claims fully automated

• 99% precision across definitive Yes/No decisions

• Full audit trails and clause-level explainability for every decision

• Fewer manual errors, reduced workload, faster resolutions

What winning this award means

Receiving the Excellence in Claims Technology Award is an important validation of our mission: to build AI systems that insurers can trust—systems that are explainable, precise and aligned with real-world operational needs.

For our team, it’s a moment of real pride.

For our clients and partners, it’s a third-party endorsement of the value and reliability of our technology.

For the industry, it signals that trustworthy AI isn’t a future aspiration. It’s here, and it’s working.

A heartfelt thank you to the Insurance Times judges, our partners across the industry and, of course, the UnlikelyAI team whose dedication made this possible.

This is just the beginning.
