In this episode of The Ethics Experts, Nick Gallo welcomes Colin McBride.

Colin McBride, AIGP, is a Senior Regulatory Compliance Specialist at Pie Insurance, where he leads AI governance initiatives at the intersection of emerging technology and insurance regulation. Colin founded Pie’s AI Governance program, drafting the company’s first AI guidelines and working to develop its AI risk management framework, while managing compliance across commercial auto and workers’ compensation lines in dozens of state jurisdictions.

As a certified Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP), Colin brings a practitioner’s perspective to AI ethics, navigating the complex challenges of implementing responsible AI systems in a highly regulated industry. His work bridges the technical, legal, and operational dimensions of AI governance—from evaluating new AI tools for regulatory risk to translating the NAIC’s AI model law into actionable business practices. Colin’s approach to AI ethics is grounded in real-world constraints: how do you innovate responsibly when your systems impact consumers’ access to essential insurance products, and when compliance failures can have immediate regulatory and consumer protection consequences?
