The definitions of artificial intelligence and machine learning used in the NAIC Surveys on Automobile and Homeowners over the last few years differ from the definitions set forth in the Model Bulletin on the Use of Algorithms, Predictive Models, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems by Insurers.”

The surveys, with a focus on “advanced AI” or post-year 2000 models, say: “AI/ML describes an automated process in which a system begins recognizing patterns without being specifically programmed to achieve a pre-determined result. This is different from a standard algorithm in that an algorithm is a process or set of rules executed to solve an equation or problem in a pre-determined fashion. Evolving algorithms are considered a subset of AI/ML.”
