We don't want to stand in the way of innovation that generally serves consumers. But we do want to make sure that it is used transparently, fairly and in ways that hold up to scrutiny. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified via WebSearch (direct WebFetch of usnews.com returned 403). Quote is accurately attributed to Scott White, NAIC President and Virginia Insurance Commissioner, made at the NAIC 2026 Spring National Meeting and reported in US News article "Will AI Raise Your Insurance Premiums, Deny Claims? Know What Rules Can Protect You in 2026" (source URL matches). Quote text matches verbatim: "We don't want to stand in the way of innovation that generally serves consumers. But we do want to make sure that it is used transparently, fairly and in ways that hold up to scrutiny." Year 2026 is correct. Author_id 4026 correctly maps to Scott White (NAIC President; Virginia Insurance Commissioner). Vote "abstain" is appropriate alignment for the statement "Regulated industries should prohibit AI from making autonomous decisions where fiduciary duty applies" — White's stance is balanced: he explicitly does not want to "stand in the way of innovation" (not a clear "for" prohibition) but insists on transparency, fairness, and scrutiny (not a clear "against" regulatory safeguards), making abstain the correct neutral position on an outright prohibition. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 19d ago
