Fairness Consulting Services

Regulatory bodies in jurisdictions across the U.S. are working to understand if insurance company data, modeling and core business activities produce discriminatory or negative impacts for consumers in protected classes.

In fact, earlier this year, the State of Colorado Division of Insurance (DOI) issued a Draft Proposed Algorithm and Predictive Model Governance Regulation for insurers' use of External Consumer Data and Information Sources.

There is accelerated insurance industry focus on this issue of discriminatory effects. Insurers increasingly recognize that they need business partners who understand the scope and breadth of potential bias and discrimination, and how to help them manage their effects.

At heart of the issue are a few key questions:

What are discriminatory effects in insurance? How can an insurer identify them? Most importantly, how can an insurer manage or mitigate discriminatory effects in accordance with regulatory guidance?
