Anthropic says no single insurer may have capacity to cover a catastrophic AI incident
Anthropic's IPO filing warns that its insurance may not provide sufficient cover for a large-scale AI-related incident, and that no single insurer may have the capacity to do so. Trade press reads this as a general problem of insurability of AI risks and of underwriters' exposure.

- insurer
- In D&O, professional liability and cyber portfolios covering AI providers, accumulation exposure and exclusions need to be re-examined.
- chief financial officer
- Companies using AI need to check whether their existing cover applies to AI-caused losses at all.
