I don't work directly for insurance companies so I am not a good judge of what jobs will be around. I would expect that any job that deals manually with claims--line entry, price evaluation, even fraud detection--will decline, maybe a lot. However, I don't see them going away entirely--there are just too many anomalies and the data you're dealing with is too dirty. That's not sticking my neck out too much; you can say pretty much the same thing for any broad industry. :)
I assume that Lemonade is banking on doing away with almost all manual processing so they're ideas are different from mine.
I think we’ll see the insurance market transform in a similar way that we’ve seen the financial services market transform. Although, it will go in slow motion, since the gains in insurance aren’t as immediately-accruing as they were in equity and credit trading.
You’ll see the same kind of jobs that exist today, but they will be smaller in number, and way less paper-oriented.
Many. Insurance is hardly one type of job and many lines of insurance (e.g. for larger multi-national corps, for certain types of property, and etc.) aren't automated anywhere near the level of what you see in Lemonade's marketing/website/systems.
