A practical framework for establishing AI governance in your organization. Designed for businesses that need to demonstrate responsible AI use to regulators, insurers, and clients.
The convergence of state AI regulations and insurance carrier exclusions means that businesses using AI without documented governance face a dual threat: regulatory penalties and uncovered claims. A proper AI governance framework addresses both risks simultaneously.
Insurance carriers like Hamilton are already offering better terms to businesses with documented AI governance. This framework gives you the foundation to demonstrate responsible AI deployment.
Document every AI tool, model, and automated decision system in your organization. Classify each by risk level based on the decisions it influences and the data it processes.
Establish a recurring process for evaluating AI risks. Map each AI use case to applicable regulations, insurance coverage, and potential liability exposure.
Create written policies covering acceptable AI use, human oversight requirements, data handling, vendor assessment, and incident response. Document decisions and rationale.
Implement disclosure protocols for AI-assisted work product, consumer-facing AI interactions, and AI-driven decisions. Align with state-specific disclosure requirements.
Track regulatory changes, carrier endorsement filings, and internal AI usage patterns. Schedule regular governance reviews and update policies as the landscape evolves.
Review existing policies for AI exclusion endorsements. Work with your broker to ensure coverage matches your AI risk profile. Use governance documentation to negotiate better terms.
The most important step is the first one: knowing what AI tools your organization uses and what decisions they influence. Start with an inventory, then build governance around your highest-risk use cases.
Understand your specific AI liability exposure and insurance coverage gaps. Our assessment covers regulatory compliance, insurance policy review, and governance recommendations.
