In episode 21 From the Darkhorse’s Mouth, Dan and Carly Garzella sit down with Jen Crutchfield, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, Corporate Secretary, and Head of Government Affairs at Clearcover and Dearborn Labs, to explore how AI, regulation, and compliance are reshaping the future of insurance.

Jen brings a unique perspective from working across both established insurance organizations and startup environments, sharing how legal, compliance, and innovation intersect as the industry continues to evolve. The conversation explores the challenges independent agents need to consider as they grow, adopt new technology, manage customer data, and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

Dan and Carly also dive into AI governance, privacy, and the balance between creating better digital experiences while protecting consumers. Jen explains why compliance needs to be part of AI conversations early, what insurance professionals should consider before using AI tools with sensitive information, and why human judgment remains essential as technology advances.

The episode also highlights the work behind Dearborn Labs and how AI-enabled solutions are being explored to improve workflows for carriers and MGAs. From separating real opportunities from industry hype to understanding where technology can strengthen relationships between carriers and independent agents, this conversation offers a practical look at the future of insurance, one where AI removes friction while the human side of the industry remains at the center.
