Manulife Hong Kong and Alibaba Cloud have signed a partnership to integrate artificial intelligence across insurance operations and develop AI-driven solutions for the sector. The agreement establishes a framework for responsible AI innovation that combines Manulife's insurance expertise with Alibaba Cloud's AI and cloud capabilities.

The two companies will create a joint AI hub focused on building next-generation applications in four areas: digital customer experiences, fraud detection, service personalization, and intelligent automation. The hub will explore new use cases aligned with Manulife's business priorities.
