The regulatory radar tracks rules and guidance that govern how insurers may use artificial intelligence. It follows the PRA, FCA, Lloyd's, EIOPA and the EU AI Act, records each development with its publication date and severity, and explains the practical impact on London market firms.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in insurance refers to the use of computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. This includes analyzing large datasets to identify patterns, automating decision-making processes like claims assessment, and providing personalized customer experiences. AI helps insurance companies process information faster, reduce costs, and make more accurate risk assessments.
Key ethical considerations include ensuring algorithmic fairness across protected classes, maintaining transparency in decision-making processes, providing clear explanations for automated decisions, regularly auditing models for discriminatory outcomes, establishing human oversight mechanisms, and balancing business objectives with social responsibility. Insurers must also comply with anti-discrimination laws and industry regulations while implementing robust governance frameworks.
Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create things—like text, images, videos, music, and even computer code. Think of it as a very advanced digital assistant that doesn't just respond to your questions, but can write stories, generate pictures, draft emails, or design websites—all from scratch. A well-known example is ChatGPT, which can chat with you, answer questions, or help write content. Another is DALL·E, which can turn a few words into a detailed image. These tools are powered by powerful algorithms trained on massive amounts of data so they can learn patterns and mimic human creativity. Since tools like ChatGPT became widely available in late 2022, generative AI has grown rapidly. New tools are being released every month, and businesses across industries—from healthcare to finance to media—are racing to adopt them. Some experts believe it could add up to $4.4 trillion to the global economy every year. Of course, alongside excitement come important questions: How will it change jobs? What risks does it pose? And how do we use it responsibly? But one thing is clear: generative AI is not just a passing trend—it's already reshaping how we work and create.
Machine learning algorithms analyze historical claims data to identify patterns associated with fraudulent activity. They can detect unusual claim patterns, flag suspicious documents, and score claims based on risk factors. This allows insurers to investigate potential fraud more efficiently and reduce false positives that delay legitimate claims.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to technologies that enable machines to simulate human intelligence—such as recognising speech, making decisions, or understanding natural language. If you’ve used a voice assistant like Siri or interacted with a chatbot on a website, you’ve already experienced AI in action. Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI. It’s the method by which AI systems learn from data—spotting patterns and improving performance over time without being explicitly programmed for every task. As the amount and complexity of data continue to grow beyond what humans can process alone, machine learning has become a critical way to harness that data and make faster, smarter decisions at scale.
