For a management briefing, begin with the NAIC overview and NIST framework below. For an actuarial learning plan, start with the SOA primer and CAS resources. Implementation documentation is most useful once you have defined a task and its acceptance checks.
For senior managers
NAIC ยท Artificial Intelligence topic page
Start with the NAIC's overview of insurer AI governance and its Model Bulletin. Use the applicable state insurance department's requirements for decisions in that jurisdiction.
Read the NAIC AI overviewNIST AI Risk Management Framework + Generative AI Profile
Use this voluntary framework to organize AI risk ownership, assessment, measurement, and management. Its Generative AI Profile addresses risks specific to generative systems.
Read the NIST framework and profileNAIC Model Bulletin adoption map (PDF)
A starting point for tracking state action. Check the map's date and confirm scope, wording, and effective dates with each relevant state insurance department.
Open the state adoption map (PDF)NAIC Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (H) Working Group
Meeting materials, pilot updates, and draft evaluation tools. Distinguish consultation drafts and pilot materials from requirements adopted by a state.
Review current working-group materialsQuarles & Brady ยท state adoption summary
Historical legal commentary on state adoption. Use it for background; use current NAIC and state publications to establish today's position.
Read the historical adoption commentaryVendor trust documentation
Use alongside the proposed contract to review security documentation, data use, retention, and access controls. Confirm terms for the specific product and account.

Anthropic documentation & prompt-engineering guide
Primary implementation guidance for Claude. Treat its examples as provider-specific and evaluate them on your own task.
Read Claude documentationOpenAI Cookbook
Worked code examples for structured extraction, RAG, and evals.
Browse OpenAI worked examplesActuarial Standards Board ยท applicable standards
Read the standards themselves when assessing modeling, data quality, and communication responsibilities. Applicability depends on the assignment and the actuary's responsibilities.

| What to watch | What the owner should record |
|---|---|
| NAIC Big Data & AI Working Group outputs | Track draft changes, pilot findings, and any state adoption; do not assume a pilot becomes a binding examination standard |
| Domiciliary and top-premium states' DOI bulletins | Record the requirements that apply to your legal entity, products, and states, including local variations |
| Colorado DOI algorithm/data-governance rulemaking | Track the rules and testing requirements for the lines of business within scope |
| SOA / CAS AI research index pages | Review new research for relevant methods, limitations, and evidence |
| Model provider release notes | Review version changes and deprecations, then re-run the evaluation set before adopting an update |
