Domain: Insurance/Risk Assessment
Description: AI-powered insurance underwriting systems show bias in risk assessment and pricing, particularly affecting minority communities and certain geographic areas.

Ethical Challenges:

• Proxy Discrimination: Use of zip codes and other proxies that correlate with protected characteristics
• Historical Data Bias: Training on historical data that reflects past discriminatory practices
• Disparate Impact: Higher premiums for equivalent risk profiles in minority communities
• Regulatory Compliance: Violation of fair lending and anti-discrimination laws
