Mobile phones are the main source, producing risk signals as wireless networks run them. Statistics of GSM association estimates that the world will witness 1.2 billion 5G connections, and 4G will reach 5 billion by 2025. Since mobile phones use wireless networks, it can power real-time data streaming. As many applications have emerged from AI and machine learning, processing large-scale data streams at much faster than ever is achieved.
Advanced AI, machine learning tools, and big data analytics are supporting the insurers to move towards predictive cover.
