Specifically, she highlighted the ongoing work of the NAIC, both at the Innovation Cybersecurity and Technology Committee and the Special Committee on Race and Insurance financial education and inclusion, including the formation of our recent Foundation, supervisors' examination of algorithmic bias, and the educational content for use by individual states.
About the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
As part of our state-based system of insurance regulation in the United States, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) provides expertise, data, and analysis for insurance commissioners to effectively regulate the industry and protect consumers. The U.S. standard-setting organization is governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. Through the NAIC, state insurance regulators establish standards and best practices, conduct peer reviews, and coordinate regulatory oversight. NAIC staff supports these efforts and represents the collective views of state regulators domestically and internationally.
