Beazley and CFC add affirmative AI cover to cyber insurance as insurers split on silent AI risk
Beazley and CFC each built explicit AI cover into their cyber insurance wording within days of each other, on September 17 and 18. An analysis finds insurers divided on whether to leave "silent" AI risk to existing policies, write separate wording, or exclude it.
Who is affected and how
- insurer
- The policy wording should state clearly whether AI-originated loss is covered or excluded.
- chief financial officer
- Corporate insurance cover should be checked for its wording on AI risk.
