AI decisions must remain explainable, consistent, and accountable.

Insurers are increasingly using AI to support underwriting, claims assessment, fraud detection, and customer interactions. These decisions affect customers, outcomes, and trust — and they must stand up to review over time.

Many AI systems optimise efficiency and insight but struggle when decisions need to be explained, audited, or challenged. The risk is not automation itself — it is unexplainable variance and unclear accountability.

Our architecture is designed to ensure AI supports insurance decision-making without weakening control, fairness, or responsibility.

How the Architecture Works

Three-layer architecture for accountable insurance AI.

Decision intent is defined up front, human authority is enforced for material outcomes, and evidence is preserved to support review and assurance.

Our approach

We design AI systems so governance is embedded directly into decision workflows, not added later.

Rather than relying on policy statements or retrospective analysis, our architecture ensures that:

Decision intent and boundaries are defined before deployment
Human authority is explicit for material outcomes
Evidence is generated automatically as decisions occur

This allows insurers to scale AI while remaining confident that decisions can be reviewed, explained, and defended when required.

How the architecture works

Our architecture is organised into three layers:

1. Decision intent & boundaries

Each AI system operates within approved insurance contexts — defining what it exists to support, and where it must not be used. This prevents scope drift and unintended decisioning.

2. Authority & review

Human accountability is enforced for decisions affecting customers, risk exposure, or claims outcomes. Approval, override, and review responsibilities are explicit.

3. Evidence & traceability

Every material decision can be reconstructed end-to-end, including inputs, constraints, reasoning, and human involvement. This supports review, dispute resolution, and assurance.

Together, these layers ensure AI systems assist insurance judgment without becoming opaque or autonomous.

What this delivers for insurers

Explainable underwriting and claims decisions

Outcomes can be understood, reviewed, and challenged.

Consistency over time

Decisions remain coherent across cohorts, products, and periods.

Clear accountability

Responsibility for AI-assisted decisions is explicit, not assumed.

Audit-ready evidence

Decision history exists by design, not reconstruction.

Durable governance

The architecture remains stable as technology and expectations evolve.

Designed for insurance environments

This architecture supports environments where:

Decisions are reviewed or disputed
Fairness and consistency are critical
Trust underpins long-term customer relationships

It is vendor-neutral and model-agnostic, enabling insurers to adopt new AI capabilities without rebuilding governance foundations.

Scaling AI without eroding trust

Responsible AI in insurance is not about slowing innovation.

It is about making outcomes defensible at scale.

Our architecture enables insurers to move forward with AI — transparently, consistently, and in control.
