Is an AI registry the same as the EU's database of high-risk AI systems?
No. An internal AI registry is an organization's own governance record. The EU AI Act separately provides for registration of certain high-risk AI systems in an official EU database, with obligations depending on the system category and whether the organization is a provider or deployer. An internal registry doesn't satisfy that requirement by itself, though it can help organize the underlying information.

Insurance Compliance
The layered set of regulatory obligations an insurer carries — state and national insurance law, data protection rules, and now AI-specific requirements — that all converge on the same workflows, like claims processing and underwriting, where AI adoption has moved fastest.
ISO 27001
The internationally recognized standard for information security management — and increasingly the certification enterprise customers require before they'll trust a vendor's AI tools with their data at all, making it as much a business requirement as a security one.
