AI Governance & Risk Management for Insurers

Programme Highlights

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded across underwriting, claims, pricing, and customer engagement, insurers face growing expectations to manage associated risks responsibly. This one-day workshop provides a practical and accessible understanding of AI governance and risk management, anchored in the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s proposed AI Risk Management Guidelines (AIRG).

Participants will start with a non-technical primer on AI—from machine learning to emerging agentic systems—before exploring key risk areas, including operational, ethical, regulatory, and reputational risks. Through interactive case vignettes, they will apply risk identification concepts to real-world insurance scenarios.

The programme also examines Singapore’s approach within the global AI governance landscape, highlighting key regulatory trends. In addition, the programme focuses on implementation, covering governance frameworks, materiality assessments, alignment with ISO 42001, and controls across the AI lifecycle.

By the end of the workshop, participants will gain practical insights and a clear roadmap to operationalise AI governance within their organisations.
