AXA GROUP OPERATIONS AND GROUP EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES & DATA

In the last years, significant work has been done to digitize AXA's business model so far. Nevertheless, due to massive technological changes, customers' expectations and behaviors have evolved significantly.

Thus, we are convinced that we must accelerate our technological transformation to achieve our ambition to become an innovative tech-led company.

The opportunities offered by data and new technologies are massive both for our traditional insurance business and for new services to achieve our Payer to Partner ambition.

AXA Group Operations sets the tone and must play its role as one of the major catalysts of AXA's global transformation.

We are the ones triggering and empowering the evolution of our insurance business model through technology and innovation, driving its concrete implementation globally at speed, with a high quality of advisory and execution.

Within AXA Group Operations, Group Emerging Technologies & Data (GETD) explores and scales the value of data, digital, and emerging technologies (AI, IoT, Geospatial, Blockchain, Quantum Computing, etc.) with the potential to disrupt the current insurance business model and to shape future opportunities in order to better partner in our customers' lives.

GETD and its spin-offs consist of 200+ inspiring minds located in Paris, Barcelona, London, on the EPFL campus in Lausanne (Switzerland), and on Stanford campus in San Francisco (USA) incubating and deploying solutions in co-creation and collaboration with AXA operating entities and strategic partners around the world.

In particular in partnership with Stanford University, we are incubating, developing and deploying solutions "making the insurance contracts computable". Computable Contracts are the interface of law and technology.

They represent a standardized semantic model that can be easily readable by everyone, from legal experts to regular customers – and it is a way to express the terms of contracts directly in machine executable code:

contract as a code is the basis for automation, standardization and simplification which drive positive impacts both in terms of customer experience (transparency and personalization) and operations efficiency1 .
