Insurers weigh AI risk exclusions in commercial liability policies
Insurers were weighing excluding AI risk from certain policies on 17 August 2026, according to Insurance Journal, and further reports describe a narrowing of commercial liability cover. The IUA says cyber policy wordings may unintentionally cover AI risk.
Who is affected and how
- insurer
- Policy wordings need to state clearly whether AI-driven losses are covered or excluded, so that hidden exposures are avoided.
- chief financial officer
- For losses linked to the company's use of AI, check which policy pays and whether an exclusion applies.
