Description: Amid the growing adoption of AI/ML models for underwriting and pricing, Life and Annuity carriers are facing increasing regulation in North America on Model Risk Management (MRM) and the use of AI. Colorado has set a precedent in the US by requiring reporting in June 2024, with other states looking to follow suit. To ensure compliance, Chief Risk Officers and Heads of MRM, working with their business partners, will need to evolve their MRM and AI risk frameworks, enhance model validation capabilities, and strengthen governance. This session will present: - Key trends and challenges faced by carriers amid increasing model landscape complexity and regulatory expectations - Regulatory outlook and implications for carriers' MRM and AI risk programs - An approach to enhance MRM and AI risk frameworks, including specific model validation program updates to address the unique risks of AI/ML models - Opportunities to enhance both MRM validation effectiveness and efficiency through the adoption of more risk-based approaches, smart sourcing, and automation - Case studies of how leading carriers are evolving their MRM and AI risk programs Upon attending the session, the attendees will develop a good understanding of increasing regulatory expectations, the required MRM and AI risk framework enhancements, and approaches to design and execute an effective MRM validation program in a cost-efficient manner.
