Panel Discussion: AI Governance and Risk Management: Navigating the Future Responsibly

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly shaping the insurance and pensions sectors, offering opportunities for efficiency, accuracy, and innovation, while also raising important questions around fairness, transparency, and accountability. The recent Opinion issued by EIOPA on AI Governance and Risk Management provides high-level supervisory expectations for the responsible use of AI, emphasising a risk-based and proportionate approach.

The panel will explore how these principles can be embedded into existing risk management and governance frameworks, with a focus on issues such as data governance, explainability, human oversight, and ethical use. The discussion will bring together regulators, industry leaders, and actuarial experts to examine the implications of the Opinion, share perspectives from practice, and consider the next steps in ensuring that AI systems used across the insurance value chain remain trustworthy, resilient, and aligned with customer interests.
