Zurich Insurance Group to Acquire Estonia’s AI Firm AlphaChat
Zurich Insurance Group has agreed to acquire Estonia-based conversational AI company AlphaChat.
AlphaChat’s customer service automation technology will help to enhance Zurich Insurance Group’s conversational AI capabilities, and support the development of Intelligent Virtual Assistants for both internal and external business purposes, a statement said.
