MassMutual caps AI vendor contracts at 12 months, reports 30% productivity gain
MassMutual CIO Sears Merritt discusses the company's strategy of capping AI vendor contracts at 12 months and using a multi-model architecture to avoid being locked into any single AI model. This approach has yielded a 30% increase in developer productivity and reduced contact center resolution times from 10 minutes to one minute. The strategy allows MassMutual to adapt quickly to the rapidly evolving AI landscape without making long-term bets on specific models.
