Has specific legislation, final regulations or other formal regulatory guidance addressing the use of AI in your jurisdiction been implemented (vs reliance on existing legislation around IP, cyber, data privacy, etc.)?	Yes. The Division of Insurance of the Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development issued Insurance Bulletin B24-01. Something else to be aware of: Press Release - AG Taylor New Chair of Attorney General Alliance; as chair, he will tackle the Cyber Awareness Initiative, which includes the use of AI.
Please provide a short summary of the legislation/regulations/guidance and explain how legislators aim to strike the balance between innovation and regulation.	On February 1, 2024, Alaska became the first state to adopt the National Association of Insurance Commissioners model bulletin governing insurers’ use of AI Systems, now in effect for all licensed insurers in the state. The bulletin requires insurers to implement robust governance frameworks, including formal policies, risk management protocols, testing procedures, internal audits, board oversight, and accountability for third-party vendors. It mandates that any AI-driven decision affecting consumers must comply with existing federal and state consumer protection laws and must avoid arbitrary, inaccurate, capricious, or unfairly discriminatory outcomes. The Alaska Division of Insurance will now include insurers’ AI usage documentation and disclosure as part of market conduct examinations and investigations. While not a binding regulation, the bulletin sends a clear signal that current laws will be applied to AI tools, encouraging innovation paired with responsible safeguards.
Which agency regulates the use of AI in your jurisdiction?	With respect to insurers, the Division of Insurance of the Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development regulates the use of AI in Alaska.
