Why Generative AI is Catastrophically Unsuited for Insurance Claims
The insurance industry faces an epistemological crisis: Generative AI tools are systematically deleting vehicle damage, manufacturing evidence, and exposing carriers to bad faith litigation.
Veriprajna's Forensic Computer Vision solves this with deterministic analysis—Semantic Segmentation, Monocular Depth Estimation, and Deflectometry—to measure truth without altering a single pixel of evidence.
A paradigmatic case study that exposes the structural flaw in modern InsurTech: Generative AI treating damage as "noise" to be removed.
Policyholder uploads photo of severely dented rear bumper after collision. Damage is clearly visible to human eye.
GenAI "enhancement" tool uses Latent Diffusion to "denoise" the image. Interprets dent as statistical anomaly—applies inpainting to "heal" the bumper.
Automated claims engine denies claim (zero visible damage). Customer sues for bad faith. Insurer holds digitally spoliated evidence contradicting physical reality.
Diffusion models are trained on billions of images to learn statistical distributions. In their latent space, a "car" = smooth, symmetrical, unbroken surfaces.
A dent = high-frequency disruption → The model's objective function maximizes likelihood that output belongs to "normal car" distribution → Dent is mathematically erased.
In art restoration, this is desirable. In insurance forensics, it is automated evidence spoliation under US legal doctrine.
We don't sell cameras or API wrappers. We architect Deep Tech intelligence for forensic accuracy—combining materials physics, deterministic AI, and regulatory compliance.
Standard AI vendors try to "train better models" on RGB/NIR data. You cannot enhance a signal that was never captured.
Veriprajna solves the root cause: We deploy Discriminative Deep Learning (not Generative) to analyze molecular signatures, 3D geometry, and light physics—without modifying evidence.
NAIC Model Bulletin mandates explainability, governance, and vendor accountability. EU AI Act classifies claims AI as High Risk with strict data governance requirements.
Veriprajna provides full Model Cards, audit trails, and lineage documentation. Our outputs are mathematically verifiable and legally defensible.
While insurers inadvertently delete damage, fraudsters use the same GenAI to manufacture synthetic damage, ghost policyholders, and fake death certificates.
Veriprajna's PRNU (sensor noise) analysis and physics-informed validation detect AI-generated fraud that generic classifiers miss.
"Wrapper" companies repackage OpenAI/Anthropic APIs. If the provider deprecates a model, changes pricing, or alters safety alignment (e.g., refusing car crash images), your product breaks instantly.
Veriprajna owns our weights. We train proprietary CNNs deployed in your VPC—immune to public API volatility.
Sending claim photos to public APIs risks PII leakage (license plates, faces, medical data) and GDPR/CCPA violations. APIs may use your data for model training.
Veriprajna supports VPC and On-Premise deployment. Data never leaves your secure perimeter.

Objective: Make image "aesthetically complete"
Method: Inpainting / Denoising Diffusion
Result: Synthetic pixels replace damage
Objective: Measure damage with mathematical precision
Method: Semantic Segmentation + Depth Estimation
Result: Metadata overlay (original untouched)
Veriprajna's tripartite system measures damage at pixel, geometry, and physics levels—providing mathematical certainty for claims adjudication.
Mask R-CNN / U-Net: Pixel-level classification identifies exact boundaries of damage. Multi-class masks distinguish scratches, dents, rust, cracks.
Enables automated surface area calculation for estimating software integration (Audatex, Mitchell).
Depth Anything V2 (ViT): Reconstructs 3D geometry from single photo. Dents appear as "sinkholes" in depth map—enables gradient analysis for severity scoring.
Automated triage: PDR (soft dent) vs Replacement (sharp crease) based on mathematical thresholds.
Deflectometry: Physics-informed AI analyzes how light reflects off surfaces. Dents warp reflection fields—detectable even when invisible to RGB sensors.
Detects invisible damage and previous repair attempts (orange peel texture, sanding marks).

Fraudsters use text-to-image prompts: "add smashed bumper," "simulate fire damage." Modern inpainting handles lighting/shadows with photorealistic accuracy. Generic classifiers see "car with damage" and approve.
AI-generated identities with fake licenses, medical records, death certificates. Life insurance "death faking" with synthesized obituaries and accident scenes. Barrier to fraud has collapsed.
AI in insurance is no longer experimental—it's a regulated activity under NAIC Model Bulletin and EU AI Act High-Risk classification.
Mandates written AIS Program governing AI development, deployment, monitoring. Insurers retain 100% liability for third-party vendor failures—"wrapper" is not an excuse.
AI affecting consumers' financial standing = High Risk. Requires data governance, automatic logging, human oversight. Veriprajna's "Mask Overlay" ensures Human-in-the-Loop (HITL).
US Legal Definition: Alteration of evidence (even if intended to "enhance") = Spoliation. Courts may impose sanctions, adverse inference instructions, or summary judgment against insurer.
SHA-256 hash computed immediately upon receipt. Cryptographic proof of original state.
AI reads image buffer but never writes. Zero pixel modification—forensic integrity preserved.
Masks, depth maps, JSON reports saved as separate files linked to original hash.
Every access and processing step logged. Full audit trail for legal proceedings.
