Signal Mosaic Insurance Launches New 'AI Lab' Unit

Summary

Mosaic Insurance, based in Bermuda, launched a new "AI Lab" unit along with a forward-deployed engineer (FDE) program. In summer 2026 the company formed its first FDE cohort of four members from the London School of Economics and the University of Nottingham, based in its London office. The program aims to develop and deploy in-house AI that operates in real production environments across underwriting, claims, finance, and global operations. The effort is led by co-CEO Mitch Blaser, Chief Digital and AI Officer Krishnan Ethirajan, and Chief Data Officer Usha Badrinath. Mosaic is emphasizing immediate deployment using real data rather than the pilot-centric approach common in the insurance industry, while pairing it with human oversight and governance under an AI Acceptable Use Policy.
