Source: The New York State Department of Financial Services Insurance Circular Letter No. 7 (2024) sets expectations for insurers using AI systems and external consumer data and information sources (ECDIS) in underwriting and pricing, including governance with senior-management accountability, testing for unfair or unlawful discrimination, transparency and disclosure to consumers, and documentation. KYE Protocol™ governs whether an AI-assisted underwriting or claims decision in scope may PROCEED to a consequential adverse action — under a named accountable authority, with a recorded adverse-action reason-code, with proxy-discrimination / fairness-evidence captured, with a signed Evidence Pack™, and a consumer appeal / contestability record. KYE™ does not price risk, select the ECDIS, or design the discrimination-testing methodology. · License: NYDFS circular letters are public regulatory guidance; KYE™ registry paraphrases each requirement's intent and cites the circular for mapping purposes only.
