I'm biased because my company (Newfront) is in insurance but there are a lot of great points here. This jumped out: "By 2030, global AI data centers alone are projected to require $5 trillion of investment, while enterprise AI spend is forecast to reach $500 billion."

There's a mega trend of value concentrating in AI (and all the companies that touch/integrate it). Makes a ton of sense that insurance premiums will flow that direction as well.

Ha, of course. A lot easier to forecast in a spreadsheet than actually make this happen. Based on the progress in AI in the past couple years and the capabilities of the current models, would you bet against that growth curve?
