Meeting Minutes

• Antitrust Accepted

• Meeting Minutes Accepted

• AI standards today in the global market

  • The technology has to be available for the oldest technology.

  • Some areas in the world have flip phones as the major percentage of the population, which means that AI has to be developed that will work off the lowest resolution standard.

  • AI reads read pictures of pictures in jpeg format.

  • AI has optical character recognition that allows it to read estimates that were worked on by someone else.

  • AI using video is important and allows for precise images that does not fit in frames of a picture.

    • Video is still a forward-looking concept.

    • AI performs better with video because it is able to show creases and wrinkles better.

    • Video is mp4 format where images are jpg. At this AI cannot rely on HD technology.

• Can the Industry APIs send this information?

  • Can we create API messages that will allow core companies to share with other industry segments in a handshake?

  • AI can be used as early as FNOL

  • Would AI be a new CIECA message?

    • Need to have handshake and transfer data to others.

    • The industry needs to work together to create a message that allows for fair competition.

      • The handshake and message share should be standard, the competitive edge would come from the apps use of this information and the solutions they provide.

    • Assignment and Estimate may host the AI aggregates?

    • The new APIs would be perfect example of using new technology
