Building Trust In The Era Of AI Agents

Agentic AI is no longer a future concept. It is here today, transforming how businesses operate. At Fortune Brainstorm Tech in Park City, I joined leaders from Salesforce, Okta, and Zillow to discuss this market shift. The takeaway was clear: agentic AI is not a trend. It is a catalyst for lasting change. At Experian, we see it as a force to unlock opportunity, spark innovation, and most important, build trust. People First Our leadership in AI starts with our people. Experian was recently named one of Fortune’s Top 10 Best Workplaces in Technology. That recognition reflects a culture built on curiosity, fostering innovation, inclusion, and collaboration. It is this culture that drives us to create technology with real impact, to help solve our customers’ needs. In our innovation labs, I see this spirit every day. AI agents open new opportunities, but they also bring challenges around identity, privacy, and fraud. That is why Experian’s role is to serve as the trusted backbone of this new era, ensuring AI remains explainable, transparent, non-biased, and secure. Responsible innovation is not optional. It is our standard. Experian Assistant: A First Step Toward the Future Experian has more than a decade of experience working with AI, applying advanced analytics and machine learning across industries to help businesses and consumers make smarter decisions. That expertise has prepared us to take the next step forward. A powerful example is our Experian Assistant, the first conversational, AI-driven virtual assistant in our industry to deliver continuous analytics and decisioning support. Integrated into our Ascend platform, it helps teams move faster, improve compliance, accelerate time-to-market, and make smarter decisions. This is only the beginning. Experian Assistant lays the foundation for what comes next: a future where AI agents do not simply operate individually but connect, collaborate, and fulfill, all compliantly. These networks of AI agents can amplify human intelligence while safeguarding trust. Building Confidence amid Change At Experian, we are shaping the future of AI responsibly and with purpose. By combining a spirit of innovating with a people-first culture, we deliver solutions that are secure, transparent, and transformative. With innovations like Experian Assistant leading the way, we will help our customers embrace change today while preparing for the trusted agentic-AI networks of tomorrow.

AI Offers Hope As Healthcare Providers Tackle Rising Claim Denials

Healthcare providers are facing a perfect storm of operational challenges—rising claim denials, increasing data errors, and persistent staffing shortages—all of which are straining revenue cycles and threatening financial stability. Experian Health’s 3rd Annual State of Claims Survey reveals that these issues are not only ongoing but intensifying. The survey found that 41% of providers now report denial rates of 10% or higher, a troubling trend that has worsened each year since 2022. The root causes remain consistent: missing or inaccurate data (50%), authorization issues (35%), and flawed patient registration data (32%). These errors are not just administrative—they directly impact cash flow and patient care. To view more of the findings, download our report here. While challenges continue, what we are excited about is the growing optimism around artificial intelligence (AI) as a solution. 67% of providers believe AI can improve the claims process, and 62% say they are well-versed in AI and automation—a dramatic increase from just 28% in 2024. Among those who have adopted AI, the results are promising: 69% report reduced denials and improved resubmission success. Experian Health’s own Patient Access Curator is one such tool, leveraging AI to streamline front-end data collection, eligibility verification, and insurance discovery in real time. The data is clear: the status quo is unsustainable. Providers must embrace technology not as a future possibility, but as a present necessity. AI is no longer theoretical—it’s a proven tool that can help break the cycle of denials, delays, and data errors. Experian Health is committed to helping providers navigate this transition with solutions like AI Advantage and Patient Access Curator, designed to simplify workflows and improve outcomes.
