Operationalizing AI Governance in Insurance

February 28, 2024

Federal regulators have largely focused on issuing guidance and initiating inquiries into AI, whereas state regulators have taken a more proactive stance, addressing AI’s unique challenges within sectors such as insurance.

The New York Department of Financial Services released a draft guidance letter proposing standards for identifying, measuring, and mitigation potential bias from use of ‘External Consumer Data and Information Sources’ for underwriting and pricing. This proposal similarly mirrors a regulation already in effect in Colorado that was finalized last year. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners released their model bulletin on AI risk management last year, and we expect further states will announce similar proposed regulations. These proposed rules likely won’t face the same level of uncertainty that stems from the legislative process.

This means that operationalizing AI governance in the insurance sector is a need-to-do.

Everything You Need to Know About New York’s RAISE Act

New York became the second state last year to enact a frontier model disclosure law when Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Responsible AI Safety and Education (RAISE) Act. The new law requires frontier model providers to disclose certain safety processes for their models and report certain safety incidents to state regulators, with many similarities to California’s slate of AI laws passed last fall. The RAISE Act will take effect on January 1, 2027. This article covers who must comply with the RAISE Act, what transparency obligations the law creates, and how the law will be enforced.
