Why would it matter on the how the entire book is doing? Why can't the AI system take all of this into account assuming it has access to said data? Further, why should the AI system be used to run the entire company like you suggest. That is, it doesn't need to take into account every aspect of the business to replace a large portion of the workforce.

> This building burnt down because the solar panels on the roof caught fire, which spread across all the panel over the entire roof. The sprinklers never got a chance to go off because the roof collapsed.

Type 3 construction that burned to the ground? It doesn't take a human to realize or intuit that even type 1 buildings burn eventually (ask a firefighter!). If there is a way to truly model every possible variable when insuring a building, I will put money on humans doing a worse job than expert AI systems. You're asking the AI to not only predict but _know_ the future, and not asking that of the human... seems silly.
