Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI), the engineering of brilliant machinery, performs intelligent human intelligence tasks, such as learning and problem-solving. Insurance is a financial protection policy either for individuals or entities to reimburse losses from the insured company. The role of AI in insurance always helps enhance customer services and understand their behaviour.

Purpose: This chapter aims to determine the role of AI in the insurance industry in India. The insurance industry is expanding very fast, and to further increase its horizons, the part of the technology of AI is essential. However, this sector has initiated using AI technology and is expanding its scope to benefit the customers.

Methodology: The authors selected research papers of the last five years to review and determine how the technology changed during the period and how an increase in AI benefits the industry and facilitates delivering the best services, and understanding the customer’s needs and behaviour.

Findings: It has been found that the industry is moving very fast and adopting the AI technology methods to enhance customer services, betterment for growing India, and serve insurance services to the nation efficiently.

Purpose: This chapter attempts to apply Information Communication and Technology (ICT) to explain the increase in financial inclusion in the Indian financial system. The increasing use of facts and communication technology is integrating the arena. India’s information and conversation era is an industry that embodies globalization’s possibilities to develop low-profit economies.

Design/Methodology: The study is based on secondary data. The scope of the survey will only be confined to a financial institution in the economic systems of India. Various policy documents, lectures, reports, surveys, etc. of financial regulators and ministries are explored for analysis in the context of the objectives set. One of the largest challenges Indian banks will face in the next decade is banking operations, which is 50 per cent of India’s populace of around 1.2 billion (World bank, Overview 2021). The Reserve Bank of India encourages banks to use technology to maximize and attain growth profitability within the United States’ maximum faraway regions. For instance, ICT allows unknown clients to use biometrics to prompt their financial institution debts, disposing of the need for signatures.

Findings/Conclusion: The chapter concludes with numerous suggestions for expanding the manner of financial inclusion to reach the extremes of the Indian economy.

Purpose: This study explores how computer video games can promote creative techniques. It specialises in innovative elements of special educational video games: Virtual Recreation Based Mastering (VRBM), behavioural analytics and defined research results to measure the creative energy of leisure activities on laptops. The involvement and inclusion of gaming in learning are being adopted globally and becoming true global citizens. The macro problems and awareness, such as sustainability, climate changes, etc., around it can be easily created through the advent of PC games.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Examining job incentives, true tales, and inventive skill-related elements allow for measuring creative aspects. The Player’s Statistics for Pride (PSFP) survey technique employs a heuristic checklist in the world of sports games to look at the areas of participating sports that are important to a participant’s overall performance and to assess the participant’s knowledge. Energy, freedom and control, connections and presence contribute to player happiness. This examination evaluates how these sports affect participants’ knowledge and the impact of the teacher’s information on student learning. The study aimed to enhance the understanding of the inventive capacity of persons engaged in developing knowledge and abilities while playing video games.

This paper aims to focus on an experimental study of surface roughness, dimensional accuracy and time of fabrication of parts produced by fused deposition modelling (FDM) technique of additive manufacturing. The fabricated parts of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) material have pyramidal and conical features. Influence of five process parameters of FDM, namely, layer thickness, wall print speed, build orientation, wall thickness and extrusion temperature is studied on response characteristics. Furthermore, regression models for responses are developed and significant process parameters are optimized.

Comprehensive experimental study is performed using response surface methodology. Analysis of variance is used to investigate the influence of process parameters on surface roughness, dimensional accuracy and time of fabrication in both outer pyramidal and inner conical regions of part. Furthermore, a multi-response optimization using desirability function is performed to minimize surface roughness, improve dimensional accuracy and minimize time of fabrication of parts.

It is found that layer thickness and build orientation are significant process parameters for surface roughness of parts. Surface roughness increases with increase in layer thickness, while it decreases initially and then increases with increase in build orientation. Layer thickness, wall print speed and build orientation are significant process parameters for dimensional accuracy of FDM parts. For the time of fabrication, layer thickness and build orientation are found as significant process parameters. Based on the analysis, statistical non-linear quadratic models are developed to predict surface roughness, dimensional accuracy and time of fabrication. Optimization of process parameters is also performed using desirability function.

The present study is restricted to the parts of ABS material with pyramidal and conical features only fabricated on FDM machine with delta configuration.

From the critical review of literature it is found that some researchers have made to study the influence of few process parameters on surface roughness, dimensional accuracy and time of fabrication of simple geometrical parts. Also, regression models and optimization of process parameters has been performed for simple parts. The present work is focussed on studying all these aspects in complicated geometrical parts with pyramidal and conical features.
