AI Governance for Insurance
Insurance companies deploying AI in underwriting, pricing, and claims face a rapidly evolving state regulatory landscape targeting algorithmic discrimination. The primary driver is state-level regulation, led by the Colorado AI Act and NAIC model guidance, which require bias testing and transparency for AI-driven insurance decisions. A governance program must address proxy discrimination testing, explainability for claims decisions, and compliance tracking across every state where the insurer operates.
