AI Ethics & Governance In Insurance

Programme Highlights

This course provides insurance professionals with a practical and industry-specific understanding of how AI can be used responsibly within underwriting, claims, distribution, fraud detection, and customer servicing.

Participants will explore real-world examples of where AI systems have failed ethically and what insurers can learn from them. The programme demystifies concepts such as algorithmic fairness, explainability, and data ethics, and connects them directly to regulatory expectations in Singapore, including MAS' FEAT principles and the Veritas initiative.

Through structured discussions and an applied scenario exercise, participants will learn how to identify ethical risks, interpret governance requirements, and recommend practical controls to ensure that AI deployment in insurance remains fair, accountable, transparent, and safe.

The course emphasises achievable practices insurers can adopt today, even if their AI maturity is at early stages.
