Commercial P&C insurer scaling AI-driven underwriting and claims automation

Insurance Chicago, Illinois 5,001–10,000 employees Public Company

CNA is a 5,000+ person commercial insurance operator deploying AI across underwriting, claims, and fraud detection. The tech stack reveals a shift toward modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Guidewire Cloud) and AI-native tooling (Vertex AI, Gemini, LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith) — signaling an active rewrite of core underwriting and claims workflows away from legacy systems (Lotus Notes, Citrix ShareFile being phased out). Active hiring in claims and underwriting leadership, paired with projects around automated scorecards and AI-enabled insights, points to a company managing complex high-exposure claims while building data-driven decisioning at scale.
