AI-Ready Resilience: Future-Proof Your Career in a Disrupted Industry

Artificial intelligence is transforming insurance—but according to Irene Magistro, Director of IT at Convelo Insurance Group, the greatest opportunity isn't learning every new AI tool. It's learning how to guide, govern, and apply AI responsibly within your organization.

During a recent IASA webinar, Magistro encouraged professionals to shift their mindset from asking "Will AI replace my job?" to "How can I become indispensable as AI changes the way we work?"

Rather than focusing on coding or technical expertise, she highlighted the growing importance of governance, judgment, leadership, and cross-functional collaboration—areas where insurance professionals already bring tremendous value.

Key Takeaways

Your job is already changing—even if your title hasn't.

Many insurance professionals have taken on new responsibilities related to AI, vendor management, governance, or risk without those changes appearing in their official job descriptions. Recognizing how your role has evolved is the first step toward preparing for what's next.

AI governance is becoming everyone's responsibility.

As organizations adopt AI, professionals across finance, operations, IT, risk, and compliance all have a role to play in ensuring AI is used responsibly. Rather than becoming AI developers, insurance professionals can add value by helping establish policies, oversight, and governance practices that align with business objectives and regulatory expectations.

Focus on judgment—not just technology.

Many routine tasks will become increasingly automated, but work requiring judgment, communication, ethics, and strategic decision-making will continue to depend on experienced professionals. Building these skills now can help position professionals for long-term career growth.

Looking Ahead

Throughout the session, Magistro emphasized that career resilience isn't about competing with AI, it's about learning how to lead through change.
