Aon plc has announced the launch of Aon Claims Copilot, an artificial intelligence platform that combines the firm’s Broker Copilot and risk analysis tools for claims resolution and analytics.

The global broking giant said the platform integrates AI-driven capabilities with its existing claims advocacy services. The technology, it claims, offers global consistency, data-led performance evaluation, and tailored insights for claim outcomes.

“Aon Claims Copilot represents a major step forward in Aon’s commitment to deliver better information, advice, and solutions to clients through technology,” said Joe Raiser, CEO of commercial risk at Aon. “It empowers our professionals to turn insight into action, helping clients achieve faster claims resolutions, maximise recoveries, and make better-informed risk decisions.”

The platform will debut in Germany in November 2025, followed by deployment across the rest of the world throughout 2026 and 2027. Aon Claims Copilot will serve the firm’s 1,800 claims professionals operating in more than 50 countries, delivering advocacy and technical expertise across over 20 product lines. The platform includes analysers and benchmarking tools that measure claims handling, portfolio performance, and carrier responsibilities, and provides carrier performance evaluation through data-driven feedback on claim closure efficiency and outcomes. A client portal allows secure tracking of claim progress and status.

“Expert advocacy combined with AI-driven analytics gives our clients superior visibility and control over their claims,” said Mona Barnes, global chief claims officer for commercial risk at Aon. “Aon Claims Copilot empowers our teams, simplifying our approach and maximising claim payouts. It also creates a powerful feedback loop with our brokers, ensuring we place business with carriers that consistently deliver the best results.”

The platform also equips professionals with tools to prepare and present claims. The launch follows the company’s recent technology releases, including the AI-powered Aon Broker Copilot and Risk Analysers.

Industry trends and future outlook

Across the insurance sector, AI initiatives are increasingly focused on:

•        Automating manual processes: Reducing data entry, accelerating claims triage, and streamlining policy administration.

•        Enhancing customer experience: Providing real-time status updates, self-service portals, and personalized recommendations.

•        Improving risk and fraud analytics: Leveraging predictive models to assess risk, forecast claims, and detect anomalies.

•        Supporting brokers and agents: Delivering AI-powered tools for policy comparison, client communications, and workflow automation.

While underwriting and pricing have historically led digital transformation, claims is now recognised as an area with significant potential for value creation. The most successful initiatives combine advanced technology with deep insurance expertise and a focus on user adoption and workflow integration.
