Banking and insurance are among the most heavily regulated industries. Deploying AI in these sectors requires robust governance frameworks that satisfy regulators while enabling innovation.

📋 Model Risk Management (SR 11-7)

In banking, the Fed's SR 11-7 guidance applies to AI models:

  • Model Inventory: Document every AI model — purpose, inputs, outputs, limitations
  • Independent Validation: Models must be validated by teams that didn't build them
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Track model performance and drift continuously
  • Materiality Assessment: Classify models by risk tier (Tier 1: Critical → Tier 3: Low risk)

🇪🇺 EU AI Act Impact

  • High-Risk Classification: Credit scoring, insurance pricing, and fraud detection are 'high-risk' uses
  • Requirements: Risk assessments, human oversight, transparency, data quality standards
  • Penalties: Up to €35M or 7% of global revenue for non-compliance

🏦 Banking-Specific Requirements

  • Fair Lending (ECOA/FHA): AI must not discriminate in lending decisions
  • Explainability: Adverse action notices must explain WHY a loan was denied
  • BSA/AML: AI-driven AML models need thorough documentation

🏥 Insurance-Specific Requirements

  • Actuarial Standards: AI pricing models must meet actuarial soundness requirements
  • Rate Filing: Some states require explanation of AI factors in rate calculations
  • Unfair Discrimination: AI must not use prohibited factors (even indirectly)

✅ Building a Governance Program

  1. Establish an AI Risk Committee with C-suite sponsorship
  2. Create model risk policies aligned with regulatory expectations
  3. Implement model registry and lifecycle management
  4. Build automated monitoring and alerting
  5. Conduct regular internal and external audits
  6. Train all stakeholders on responsible AI practices
