Cyber insurers adapt policy terms to rogue AI agents as AI exclusions come into question
In September 2026, cyber insurers are mainly clarifying how existing terms apply to AI-related losses rather than introducing new exclusions. Meanwhile, the Fed has doubled its AI risk warning, and liability insurance products for AI agents are appearing.
Who is affected and how
- insurer
- Policy wording must be clarified for losses caused by AI agents, and the question of AI exclusions must be settled in new contracts.
- chief financial officer
- Companies should clarify in writing with their cyber insurer whether the policy excludes losses caused by an AI agent.
