The National Association of Insurance Commissioners updated its 2026 International Insurance Forum page with Virginia Insurance Commissioner and NAIC President Scott A. White's keynote address, as prepared for delivery, setting out the state-based system's current priorities around leadership, modernization, and resilience. The remarks focus on clearer expectations for artificial intelligence model governance and cybersecurity oversight, stronger capital and investment frameworks, and expanded use of data architecture, predictive analytics, early warning capabilities, and AI evaluation tools to support more proactive supervision. The speech also highlighted the NAIC's international work and catastrophe-related initiatives. White cited participation by NAIC members and staff in 35 international events in 2025, said the organization became an associate member of the Association of Insurance Supervisors of Latin America in April, and noted record virtual participation in the International Fellows Program with 209 fellows from 42 jurisdictions. On resilience, the address pointed to guidance being developed through the Catastrophe Risk Management Center of Excellence on catastrophe modeling, climate disclosures, and stress testing, alongside coordination with public agencies and support for risk-mitigation grant programs. The May 7-8 forum includes panels on cybersecurity and operational risk, financial literacy, health and technology, regulation in the new era of finance, and natural catastrophe protection gaps.
