Cross-Practice Letter on NY Proposed Circular on AIS and ECDIS in Insurance Underwriting and Pricing

The Academy’s Health, Life, and Casualty practice councils submitted comments on New York State Department of Financial Services’ proposed insurance circular letter on the use of Artificial Intelligence Systems (AIS) and External Consumer Data and Information Sources (ECDIS) in insurance underwriting and pricing. The councils support efforts to curb underwriting and pricing methods that “reflect systemic biases and can reinforce and exacerbate inequality.”
