Where it stands
Six outlets report that insurers are rapidly adjusting their policies to account for AI-related risks. The issue is urgent: AI-driven errors and attacks are increasingly common. The stakes are high for businesses of all sizes.
Small businesses are particularly vulnerable, as AI-accelerated attacks make cyber insurance crucial for their protection. Meanwhile, larger companies face potential criminal liability for AI-caused harm. Insurers are responding by adding AI exclusions to business liability insurance policies.
This shift is evident in new trades coverage data. Legal experts are advising on the implications for directors and officers (D&O) and errors and omissions (E&O) coverage. The question of who bears the risk when AI systems malfunction remains a pressing concern.
