Amica Insurance partnered with Zesty.ai to integrate the latter’s predictive wildfire risk analytics solution, Z-FIRE, into its homeowners product line. With Z-FIRE, Amica has access to a powerful AI model that offers a precise wildfire risk score for individual properties, which offers a much more accurate risk metric to inform underwriting and rating than traditional models. The integration of Z-FIRE into Amica’s homeowners products allows it to more confidently write policies, despite increasing wildfire risk in recent years.
