Artificial intelligence is no longer a future-state concept in insurance - it's processing claims, flagging fraud, and informing coverage decisions today. But as AI accelerates operations, it quietly redistributes risk in ways most organizations haven't fully mapped.
This panel brings together risk leaders to examine the strategic questions that matter most: When an AI-driven claims decision is wrong, who is accountable - the insurer, the vendor, or the model itself? How do you govern a system you can't fully explain? And what does "due diligence" look like when your adjuster is an algorithm?
Attendees will leave with a practical framework for assessing AI-related operational risk, a clearer picture of where regulatory expectations are heading in Canada, and concrete questions to bring back to their own organizations.
