OAK Global was founded amid rapid advances in generative AI as a technology-forward reinsurance business built to embrace rapid advances in technology across AI and data science. Unencumbered by technological debt or legacy, we are uniquely positioned to benefit from the rapid pace of technology change to create a truly AI-native risk partner grounded in robust governance, trusted data and effective controls
ROOT Intelligence delivers OAK Global’s holistic intelligence strategy, bringing together market-leading talent and technology to strengthen risk insight and analytical capability. The key principle of the holistic intelligence strategy is using technology to augment talent – we are data driven, people-powered – to deliver the OAK Global value proposition to our clients.
We bring together specialist engineering, governance, data science and responsible AI specialists to build and scale proprietary tools enabling OAK Global to translate research and innovation into practical underwriting advantage.
Our risk expertise is being deployed through OCEAN (OAK Capital, Exposure and Analytics Network), OAK Global’s innovative risk orchestration platform that supports decision making across the company.
OCEAN leverages modular architecture, integrating proprietary and third-party tools through OAK Global’s data platform, providing a single workspace where users can move seamlessly from one analytical task to another.
Flexible architecture design, where data, models and workflows can be orchestrated by advanced AI systems as they mature, enables entirely new forms of reasoning and automation.
