What happened to My Health Record? Opportunities for improved health data sharing in Australia

The Federal Government’s Strengthening Medicare Report sets out an expansive agenda to improve healthcare in Australia through blended care pathways, supported by investment in better use of digital technology to share patient data. But the My Health Record system that underpins part of this plan has existed for over 10 years, has seen $2bn in investment and is still considered, to date, unsuccessful. This paper explores the reasons for those failures but also the possibilities for health and health actuaries should further investment in this system prompt the progress and growth long desired. With the Strengthening Medicare Report also putting the role of private health insurers in primary care back on the agenda, the presentation will also explore the current landscape and sentiments around private health insurers’ involvement in this area and the benefits to consumers of an appropriately safeguarded but better integrated data sharing platform.

AI in insurance and insuring AI: Navigating regulations, risks and opportunities

Artificial Intelligence is having a significant impact on the insurance industry, with rapid development and investment across the value chain. While AI presents opportunities for efficiency and improved service, it also brings new risks and regulatory challenges. We will explore three perspectives on the emerging relation between AI and insurance, with a focus on how regulatory and legislative changes are likely to impact insurers’ own use of AI, change the risk landscape for existing lines and introduce opportunities for new product innovations. We’ll cover: Impacts of emerging regulations and standards on insurance applications: We'll explore the rapidly expanding legislative, regulatory and standards environment. Examples include specific AI legislation in the EU and US, emerging regulations in Australia and updates to existing legislation to explicitly capture algorithmic and AI risks, such as the proposed changes to the Privacy Act 1988 (CMW). Complementing the regulatory development are standards and guidelines on appropriate application and governance of AI, including the ISO 42 group of standards that seek to provide a rigorous framework for system validation and audit, akin to existing standards around Cyber risk. AI-induced risks on existing insurance lines: Here we’ll address the ripple effects of AI on established lines. Examples include the potential for breach of duty claims impacting Directors and Officers insurance, complex changes to liability risk for organisations that include AI in their products and increased risks of privacy and data breaches impacting risk exposures for cyber cover. We'll discuss relevant international developments and examples, including the EU's ambitious Artificial Intelligence Liability Directive, which seeks to update the EU liability framework to make it easier for individuals to bring claims for harms caused by AI. Insurance solutions for emerging AI risks: In this section, we'll cover the potential for insurance products that cover new and emerging AI risks, including existing emerging examples. This includes nascent product-warranty like cover, and cover for consequential losses arising from underperformance of AI models. We'll discuss potential for cover against insurability criteria, and some of the associated likely product, underwriting and claims challenges.
