Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beyond the Buzz: AI, Autonomous Mobility, and the Future of Captive Insurance
Q: There is a lot of noise and talk around artificial intelligence right now. So from your underwriting and executive perspective, where are you actually seeing AI deliver measurable value within the captive insurance programs?
Steve outlines practical value in three areas: personal use where AI assists with regulatory approvals and creates quick, concise summaries; corporate use where AI enhances service delivery and data analytics; and client-facing applications that will transform how captives deliver customized, efficient services.
Vermont's Captive Insurance Leadership: Oversight in a Mature Market
Q: What are two or three areas you would encourage captives to stay focused on in the current environment?
She points to revisiting risk in light of geopolitical tensions, ensuring adequate policy exclusions for political risk or tariffs, and maintaining strong claims governance to avoid bad-faith issues, all within a framework of vigilant board oversight.
Vermont's Captive Insurance Leadership: Oversight in a Mature Market
Q: Before we jump into the broader regulatory themes, can you help us with a little bit of context?
Christine Brown explains her non-linear path into captives, highlights Vermont's long-standing maturity in the space, and emphasizes the state's focus on relationships and a mission to protect the industry's reputation while ensuring solvency.
Beyond TRIR: Using SIF-Potential Data to Save Lives
Q: If you can't or you don't think your clients can answer that question, what is the broader takeaway?
The takeaway is that many organizations struggle to quantify SIF potential across projects, underscoring the value of implementing a systematic SIF potential tracking program and aligning safety conversations with high-energy hazards and highest-risk activities.
Beyond TRIR: Using SIF-Potential Data to Save Lives
Q: In 2025, so far across your projects, how many events had the potential to result in a serious injury or fatality?
The discussion highlights roughly 80 SIF potential events year-to-date, illustrating that SIF potential is present even if actual SIFs are not occurring at high rates yet.
