FIS Launches Insurance Risk Suite AI Assistant: What It Means for Actuaries and Risk Teams
On February 23, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:FIS) announced the Insurance Risk Suite AI Assistant. It's embedded directly in the Insurance Risk Suite and built to support modeling work around the clock, in any language.
The goal is simple: shorten the distance between a question and a defensible answer. Instead of digging through documentation for hours, actuaries and risk analysts can ask the assistant and move.
What the AI Assistant does
- Provides instant, 24/7 guidance in multiple languages inside the Insurance Risk Suite.
- Answers complex questions on building and maintaining risk models.
- Surfaces context on climate-driven claim volatility and rising cyber exposures.
- Reduces manual searching and helps teams build more resilient models faster.
Why this matters for insurers
- Faster model iteration: move from hypothesis to validation without stall-outs.
- Consistent guidance across global teams and lines of business.
- Less operational drag: free senior actuaries from repetitive "where is this" queries.
- Stronger first-line support for model governance and explainability.
What's on the roadmap
- Code generation and optimization to speed model development.
- Automated documentation to improve audit trails and handoffs.
- Clear explanations of calculations and errors to tighten reviews.
- Additional features across the risk management lifecycle.
Practical ways to test it in your workflow
- Pilot with a bounded use case (e.g., model parameter updates or rate filing support).
- Benchmark: time-to-answer, time spent searching, and documentation completeness.
- Validate outputs against existing standards and your MRM framework.
- Set guardrails: approved data sources, escalation paths, and change control.
- Train users on effective prompts and documentation best practices.
Where it fits
FIS provides technology solutions for financial institutions, businesses, and developers worldwide. The AI Assistant extends that stack into day-to-day actuarial and risk operations, tightening the loop between inquiry, analysis, and governance.
