As an AI & Emerging Technology Intern, you will help colleagues across BHSI, from underwriting and claims to operations and finance, find practical ways to use AI in their daily work. You will sit with teams to understand how they work, spot tasks where AI can save time or improve quality, evaluate existing tools, build prototypes and automations where off-the-shelf tools fall short, and help people adopt what works.

BHSI is building a forever business, and we want you to consider being a part of it!

Learn more about our unique culture and history.

Job Opportunity:

This 12-week paid internship offers hands-on experience with generative AI and emerging technology in a real business setting. Along the way, you will learn how technology supports the Insurance Life Cycle (pricing a quote through to a claim) and how a specialty insurer evaluates new ideas responsibly. This is your opportunity to gain experience, build your skills in a professional setting, contribute meaningfully, and be part of a team that’s transforming the insurance industry.

You will:

  • Meet with colleagues across the business to learn how they work and identify everyday tasks where AI could help, such as drafting, summarizing, researching, and reviewing documents

  • Write, test, and document code with guidance from experienced engineers
  • Help people adopt AI by creating how-to guides, prompt examples, and short demos, and by supporting training and office hours
  • Track the impact of AI solutions, such as time saved, quality, and user feedback, and share findings with the team and business stakeholders
  • Keep up with new AI tools and features and assess what they could mean for BHSI
  • Apply responsible AI practices, including data privacy, security, and human review of AI-generated output
  • Take ownership of assigned work and follow it through to completion, both independently and with the team
  • Participate in the team’s normal processes, discussions, and meetings
  • Communicate progress, questions, challenges, and blockers with the team
  • Present your work to technology and business leaders at the end of the internship

You will be part of a small, hands-on team that values collaboration, experimentation, and continuous learning. Your work will directly shape how people at BHSI use AI more effectively.

What you will learn:

  • How to turn a colleague’s day-to-day pain point into a practical AI solution
  • Hands-on skills with today’s AI tools, including prompt design and judging the quality of AI output
  • How to take an AI idea from prototype to a tested solution people use
  • What it takes to help people change how they work and adopt new tools
  • How a specialty insurer weighs new technology for business value, risk, and fit
  • How AI and technology support the insurance lifecycle and our customers
  • How to explain technical work to business audiences
  • A clearer idea of technology and AI career paths at BHSI

Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

Qualifications:

  • Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or another STEM discipline, or prior experience and demonstrated passion for technology
  • Hands-on experience using generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot) through coursework, personal projects, or prior work, and ideas about how they can make work easier
