Viewpoint: What U.S. Insurers Should Learn From the EU AI Act
A commentary piece argues that U.S. insurance companies should study the EU AI Act and draw lessons from its approach to regulating artificial intelligence. The piece appears aimed at helping American insurers understand how European AI rules might shape expectations for risk, liability, and governance.
Why this matters: The EU AI Act is real law now, with real teeth. U.S. insurers who cover AI-related risk, or who use AI themselves to price and deny coverage, are operating in a gap where domestic rules have not caught up. That gap is not neutral. It means companies get to set their own standards, and consumers bear the consequences when those standards fall short. Europe decided AI in high-stakes decisions needs oversight. The U.S. has not. That difference matters to anyone whose claim, rate, or coverage depends on an algorithm they cannot see or challenge.
