A recent survey reveals that insurance brokers currently face the same artificial intelligence monitoring gap as lenders. This finding highlights a critical disparity in regulatory oversight and technological governance within the financial services sector. As lenders adapt to new AI scrutiny, brokers remain largely unmonitored in their use of automated systems. The report underscores the urgent need for consistent standards across both industries to ensure ethical AI deployment and risk management.
