2 min read

AI technologies have revolutionized the insurance industry, empowering insurers to make more informed decisions and offer tailored products and services. However, this transformation is accompanied by significant regulatory, litigation, and reputational risks for insurers. Faegre Drinker’s AI-X team has recognized the growing challenges and recently introduced an algorithmic testing and AI governance service specifically tailored for insurers to manage these risks effectively.

Insurers are increasingly relying on AI models to enhance their business operations. These models enable insurers to analyze risks more accurately and provide customers with personalized premium pricing. Moreover, AI plays a crucial role in underwriting, claims decisions, fraud detection, utilization management, marketing strategies, and customer engagement.

The rapid evolution of AI technologies introduces complexities within the insurance landscape, posing challenges at both the federal and state levels. To address these concerns, Faegre Drinker’s AI-X team’s newly launched service aims to assist insurers in navigating the intricate regulatory, litigation, and reputational risks associated with AI adoption.

Brooke Vemuri, an expert in data-driven life insurance underwriting, emphasizes the significant variations in insurers’ application underwriting processes. The diversity in application processes has prompted a heightened need for effective risk management strategies, particularly with the increasing reliance on AI technologies.

With AI poised to drive evolution in the underwriting machinery, insurers must proactively address the emerging regulatory and operational challenges. Faegre Drinker’s initiative in providing an algorithmic testing and AI governance service positions insurers to fortify their risk management frameworks, helping them harness the full potential of AI while mitigating associated risks.
