The Compliance Conundrum: Challenges, Solutions, and the Role of AI
Summary of Industry Report
Compliance in the insurance industry is more complex than ever. Rapidly evolving regulations, increasing scrutiny of AI-driven decisions, and rising fraud risks make it essential for insurers to balance innovation with regulatory adherence. While AI offers solutions to streamline compliance, it also introduces challenges related to bias, governance, and cybersecurity.
This blog explores the key compliance challenges, industry insights, AI’s role in addressing these issues, and how Comply is helping insurers navigate regulatory complexities with ease.
Key Compliance Challenges Facing Insurers Today
Regulatory frameworks are tightening globally, making compliance more intricate. Deloitte’s 2024 Insurance Regulatory Outlook highlights stricter capital requirements, evolving data privacy laws, and increasing oversight on AI models. Insurers operating across jurisdictions must constantly adapt or risk fines and reputational damage.
AI’s role in underwriting and fraud detection has raised concerns about bias and fairness. States like Colorado now mandate bias testing in AI-driven decision-making. Meanwhile, cybersecurity risks are escalating, with regulators enforcing stricter mandates, such as New York’s 24-hour ransomware reporting rule.
Fraud remains a $308 billion annual challenge for the industry, yet compliance teams struggle to keep up with increasingly sophisticated schemes. At the same time, economic instability and global elections add further unpredictability to regulatory priorities, making compliance a moving target.
