OECD AI Principles
Questions for Consideration:
1. Are the Principles put forward by the OECD the right ones for the insurance industry? Is anything missing?
2. Are the Principles consistent with state laws and regulations related to general and specific consumer protections and insurance regulatory requirements?
3. Are there additional ethical issues related to AI that are not covered by these Principles?
4. How might these Principles be worded differently or modified to better serve the insurance vertical while staying at the over-arching, umbrella level as discussed by the Working Group on its call on September 5, 2019, understanding that issues related to defining terms and implementation are outside of scope at this time?

AG 49 - Exposure Draft 11-15-19
The IUL Illustration Subgroup is requesting proposals for edits to AG 49. Comments due to Pat Allison by Nov. 25, 2019.
The IUL Illustration Subgroup is requesting comments due to Reggie Mazyck by November 12, 2019 on the following questions related to IUL illustrations:
1. Should the effective date for new policies be the later of 5 months after LATF adoption or 3 months after NAIC Executive/Plenary adoption?
2. Should the revised guidelines be in place for inforce illustrations for policies sold before the effective date for new policies?
3a. Does the approach of having the disciplined current scale earned rate including or excluding the Supplemental Option Budget lead to the result of the multiplier product illustrating about the same as a non-multiplier product?
3b. If neither of the approaches mentioned in 3a leads to this result, is there an alternative approach that leads to this result such as providing explicit guidance in Section 4?
The IUL Illustration Subgroup is requesting comments to Reggie Mazyck by Sept. 6, 2019 on the following questions related to IUL illustrations:
- Should a product with a multiplier feature illustrate a higher scale than a product without multiplier features?
- To what extent should the 145% disciplined current scale factor apply to charges supporting bonuses and multipliers?
