Insurance Europe calls for greater clarity on EIOPA’s AI Opinion

Insurance Europe responded to EIOPA's draft Opinion on AI governance in insurance, supporting clarity on existing rules but raising concerns over potential new obligations. It cautioned that the draft's language might lead to supervisory expectations being misinterpreted as binding requirements, conflicting with the EU's simplification goals for smaller firms. Insurance Europe also highlighted risks of dual supervision in some regions and emphasized the need for clear distinctions between different AI types and user roles. It urged EIOPA to focus on aligning the Opinion with established frameworks like Solvency II and GDPR for effective oversight.
