Delaware moves to regulate AI in insurance
Artificial intelligence is changing the insurance industry, but with that innovation comes concerns about bias, data security, and transparency.
In Delaware, a new bulletin from the state’s Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro lays out how insurers can use AI while complying with consumer protection laws. It also warns that AI can’t be used to sidestep existing regulations and policyholders still have the same rights.
This week, Delaware Public Media’s Tom Byrne sat down with Navarro to discuss AI in insurance and what this guidance means for both insurers and policyholders.
Why ordinary people are crucial in disaster response
When disaster strikes, we often picture emergency crews rushing in, but it's local communities that play the most vital role in the critical moments before first responders arrive.
That’s according to the co-directors of the University of Delaware Disaster Research Center Tricia Wachtendorf and James Kendra, who have spent decades studying how ordinary people respond to disasters and recently wrote about how local heroes are crucial to disaster response.
Delaware Public Media’s Kyle McKinnon is joined this week by Wachtendorf and Kendra to learn more about why local communities are often the first and most crucial line of defense in a crisis.
