The insurance industry is founded on predicting, as accurately as possible, whether or not a risk will materialize in a fast-moving competitive environment. Such predictions are intensively focused on data.
AI promises new insights by analyzing more data points, simultaneously across multiple data sets, leading to automation of complex cognitive processes. However, this comes with risks. Without regulation, AI models can replicate and reinforce bias of the past, with no regard for current social constraints or indeed long-term social cohesion.
For governments to achieve the benefits of AI adoption they need to ensure that society trusts in such AI, through safeguards in design, operation and management of the models, as well as accountability for AI operators when things go wrong.
However, where regulatory approaches diverge across jurisdictions, in practice, international businesses may be forced to respond to the highest standards, regardless of the differing levels of country-specific intervention.
AI is transforming the insurance industry by enabling automation of repetitive tasks and generating insights from large data sets. Some applications by insurers include:
Given the wide range of use cases in which AI can be deployed, governments across the world have sought to articulate clear rules to guide those developing or deploying AI. This piece briefly summarizes the current regulatory state of play in the insurance sector in the EU, Germany, UK, Singapore, US, and Australia.

The private credit market and direct lending have grown and diversified immensely in the past decade, offering alternative sources and terms of debt compared to those historically provided by the syndicated leveraged loan and public issuance markets. Consequently, they are fast becoming pivotal components in the capital ecosystem, so much so that the Bank of England consider that the private credit market is currently responsible for approximately $1.8 trillion of debt issuance, which is four times its size in 2015. This growth has been particularly pronounced in Europe and the US but there has also been significant activity in Asia.

The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation, commonly referred to as the AI Act, is expected to come into force during the summer of 2024 (the AI Act). The AI Act will be the first comprehensive legal framework for the use and development of artificial intelligence (AI), and is intended to ensure that AI systems developed and used in the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly.
