Shedding light on the evolving regulatory landscape and underscores the vital role of data transparency for insurance organizations incorporating AI-powered solutions.
In the swiftly changing landscape of insurance, where data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping the underwriting paradigm, the imperative for transparency has never been more pronounced. Initiatives like the Veritas Initiative led by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) aim to align financial institutions’ AI-driven solutions with principles of fairness, ethics, accountability, and transparency (FEAT). Furthermore, the recent report from the Geneva Association emphasizes that even without AI-specific regulation, AI in insurance is not in a vacuum and is subject to existing regulatory requirements. Governments are actively looking to monitor and regulate the use of AI to ensure responsible and ethical deployment.
The Biden administration’s recent Executive Order on AI adds another layer to the regulatory landscape. With a comprehensive focus on ethical considerations, international collaboration, governance, oversight, data protection, fairness, and consumer protection, the Executive Order highlights the multifaceted aspects of responsible AI deployment. Insurance companies must align their practices with these principles to ensure ethical and equitable AI use.
As AI regulation looms, data transparency becomes increasingly critical. Insurers must easily access the information used by AI to determine a customer’s risk, ensuring the algorithm’s unbiased use of information and protection of people’s data privacy.
At NeuralMetrics, we recognize the necessity to demystify the algorithmic black box. Our generative AI seamlessly integrates with underwriter expertise, creating a synergy that goes beyond providing answers to actively involving underwriters in the evaluation of conclusions. With a simple click, underwriters can easily see the information used to answer a specific risk question.
The result is a transparent underwriting process that empowers underwriters to comprehend not only the ‘what’ but also the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind data-driven decisions. By pulling back the curtain, we enable underwriters to make informed decisions with a clear understanding of the information’s origin and relevance.
